Progressive Insurance Shows Students Math in Real Life
Representatives from Progressive Insurance recently visited Park Elementary School fifth graders to demonstrate through board games the importance of math beyond the classroom. Progressive has partnered with Park teachers Becky Mele and Shalyn Swick over the last several years to encourage in the students a more robust understanding of mathematical ideas and processes and how they relate to our everyday life.
