Math Meets Monsters: Systems of Equations Come to Life!
This week in Ms. Goldstein’s and Ms. Klepacki’s Algebra 1 class, students tackled an enrichment challenge designed to extend their learning on systems of equations. But instead of just solving for x and y, each solution revealed a fun feature to add to their monster faces!
As they graphed, matched, and drew, students practiced interpreting solutions as points of intersection while expressing their artistic sides. The room buzzed with excitement, collaboration, and laughter. Proof that math can be both rigorous and wildly creative. Their monster creations show just how brightly our students’ math skills (and imaginations) can shine!
Our Algebra 1 students took their understanding of systems of equations to a monstrous new level! Each solution unlocked a new feature to draw, from eyes to fangs to funky hair. Creativity + problem-solving = scary good math!

AP Biology Cell size Lab
Ever wonder why single cells are microscopic? 🔬 In AP Biology, students worked as a team to explore the relationship between cell size and diffusion rates by soaking different sized beets in Sodium Hypochlorite. After examining how quickly molecules diffuse into cells with varying surface area to volume (SA:V) ratios, students were able to identify the limits to cell size!
