Flyertime as academics? Yes! Flyertime has many opportunities for increased depth of knowledge; in fact, it's the perfect place to provide interdisciplinary skills. Today, two Flyertimes came together to solve an authentic problem: How do we get approximately 850 Truman staff and students into a circle for the all school picture? Students provided input and support in the design of this process.
 |
| Start with the formula - how do we use our mathematical knowledge of diameters and circumference? |
 |
| Continue with practice - how many people will fit into a prescribed space? |
 |
| Conclude with a sketch - using the formula and measurement of density of people, there's a clear plan for November 16th. |
In another Flyertime, students are taking ownership for their service learning. In this case, students are writing letters to local business to donate supplies for a blanket project. Students have completed their research and proposal, but learning continues as they construct letters with the appropriate detail and tone.
