Sullivan High School

Mrs. Hardimon's classes (Alg 2, Alg I con., Calc) did an introductory activity that involves solving clues to open locks. The activity allows students to work as a team and activate previous knowledge. It also let's Mrs. Hardimon gauge retained concepts to determine a starting point and pace for the beginning of the semester. Plus, the competition is just so much fun!!
