Coppell High School’s 9th-grade campus is teaching arithmetic in an art room.
Say the words 'summer school' and fun does not always come to mind, but like so many things these days summer school looks a lot different. Coppell High School's 9th-grade campus is teaching arithmetic in an art room.
"Do you know what origami means?" asked teacher May Voltz, of her students."It's the art of folding paper""Once you fold it, that's where the fractions come in, because you have one half, and then fold it again and you have one-fourth," explained Arlayah Bradford and Breigh Holguin, of their summer course in fractions.
The young ladies couldn't stop folding paper and perfecting their designs, right down to the millimeter."If they missed a step they can unfold a little bit, look back at what they have, and refold it," said Voltz. "So much in math is doing and undoing and finding your way."
