Seventh graders in Mrs. Mazza’s math classes created a VocAPPulary phone study guide to review concepts they already know and integrate new material! The activity was a fun way to review material they have studied all year, and students learned they were able to recall concepts much easier with this hands on, fun activity! What a great review leading up to state testing!
