How do we make math stick and prepare students for the workplace? Pacific Intermediate’s 6th graders rotated through real‑world stations modeled on QuikTrip roles, from counting change to inventory checks! This allowed them to apply decimals and money skills in authentic contexts. 💸

This approach strengthens numeracy, builds problem‑solving skills relevant to entry‑level jobs, and increases student engagement by connecting learning to real-life tasks! #MVNation
