September 11th Graphing Mystery Picture
September 11th (9/11) can be a hard topic to discuss in class. With that said, it is necessary to educate our kiddos on this significant day in America’s history. Patriot Day, observed on September 11th, is meant to commemorate the lives of those we lost. I think it is also important to focus on the bravery shown on that day and how the country came together on the days that followed.This resource was created to provide a way for teachers to discuss September 11th in their mathematical lessons.
