Southwest Elementary School

Fourth graders in Mrs. Tilley and Mrs. Petree’s classes put their math skills to the test with a real-world project! Using decimal operations, students calculated the cost of supplies for an animal shelter (including sales tax) while staying within a $1000 budget. But they didn’t stop there—they also brought in donations to help the animals at the Forsyth Humane Society. This project was a great way to practice math while making a difference for pets in need!
