The Farwell Middle School S.P.A.R.K.S.
program recently hosted Family Math Night for students and their families to
learn interactive, hands-on math techniques and tips to help reinforce math
concepts at home.
An estimation station was set up for
students to guess the number of items in jars, along with activities that
incorporated playing cards to practice fractions, dice to work on basic math
facts, and measuring utensils to make trail-mix. All activities were student
led.
Each family took home a goodie bag
with dice, playing cards, and measuring utensils to recreate the activities at
home and continue to strengthen the students’ math concepts.
S.P.A.R.K.S. (Students Participating
in Academics and Recreation for Knowledge and Success) offers students in
Beaverton, Farwell, and Harrison schools after-school homework help, tutoring,
and enrichment activities that enhance the school day curriculum and focus on
the development of character and leadership. S.P.A.R.K.S. also provides local
high school students with free credit recovery through the Learning Center at Beaverton
High School. S.P.A.R.K.S. is a program of Clare-Gladwin RESD.
