Are those 7th grade students excited about math?? It must be magic, right?! ✨ Last week, Cris Johnson, a math-magician from Niagara Falls, visited GEAR UP Kentucky schools to bring Algebra IRL (In Real Life) to all of our 7th graders. With the help of student & teacher volunteers, he wowed the crowd with magic tricks about budgeting, probabilities, & cryptography. Everyone had a such a good time, they almost forgot they were learning math until they took away some tricks they could do to impress their friends & families. 🧡 Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education Anderson County Middle School Augusta Independent Schools Bath County Middle School Mason County Middle School Royals King Middle School-Mercer County Newport High School Phillip A.

Next week, all GEAR UP Kentucky 7th graders will experience the magic of math in action - during our Algebra IRL interactive assemblies! These assemblies, offered in partnership with AdvanceKentucky, will help students find the fun in algebra, recognize it in everyday life, and discover how it connects to careers they may one day pursue. When students see what math can help them do, they can approach it with more confidence - and see more possibilities for their futures!
