    IMS Students Choose Their Own Math Adventure

    academic spotlight

    Math teacher Liz Jose used a grant from MISF to purchase 10 copies of a Choose Your Own Adventure Math Mystery book called "The Outlier’s Secret" for her students. At the end of each chapter there is a math problem that will help the students solve the mystery. After they solve the math problem, students then choose where to go next in the style of a "Choose Your Own Adventure" book.
