Track Math

When the weather gets warm here at ACS, we take math class outside with track math.  Kids work on task cards set up in 4 locations around our dirt track.  They complete one task at each station before moving on to the next one.  It is a great way to practice important math concepts while getting some extra exercise and enjoying the sunshine!
