Conackamack Middle School students in Danielle McParland’s Honors Algebra 1 class recently completed an engaging project applying their math skills to real-world scenarios! Working individually or with a partner, students modeled situations using functions, analyzed key features such as domain, range, and rate of change, and created visually engaging presentations that demonstrated how mathematics connects to everyday life. One standout project, “Pumpkin Harvest” by Lyla Lewandowski and Fatimah Kashif, modeled the local increase in pumpkin acreage from 2015 to 2025.
