RES wins statewide math challenge

Submitted / TPI Reeltown Elementary students note the importance of math in sewing and quilting as part of the OMI Spring Math Challenge.

This spring, Alabama’s Office of Math Improvement sent out a challenge to schools all over the state that would encourage students to see math in everyday life.

Students were challenged to take a picture of something they see in daily life, upload it to OMI and explain how it relates to a math concept. Reeltown Elementary School was recently announced the winner for region nine.
