Mr. Calvin Page’s
classes at Crystal
Academy were
using Thinking Maps
to learn more about
polygons. Students
created their own
Thinking Maps
defining different
polygons (Triangle,
Rectangle, and
Trapezoid). The
students were also
working with
algebraic
expressions.
Students used
Thinking Maps to
compare algebraic
expressions and
numerical
expressions and to
determine the effect
an algebraic
expressions have on
a number.

Students in
Ms. Lori
Jones' class

School
create a
Double
Bubble map

Wizard of
Oz. Students
read the
story in
their
Reading

then watched
the movie to
compare
each. The
students'
most common
comparison
was that in

Dorothy had
silver
shoes, and

she had red
shoes.
