Students learn in class.

Students in Ms. Creary's classroom are actively engaged in finding the area and perimeter of rectangles, working through tasks that promote deep thinking and problem-solving. Throughout the lesson, her students explained their reasoning and made connections between strategies as they worked independently and collaboratively.

Using visual models, discussion, and teacher-guided questioning, students built an understanding while strengthening their mathematical thinking. This encourages students to persevere through challenging problems, reflect on their strategies and learn from one another.
