PEABODY MATH TRAIL PROJECT

Over the past two years, a group of twenty-five Higgins students have written problems for and traveled the Peabody Math Trail.  As this group begins its eighth grade year, students will be designing the final phase of the Trail called Government Connections.  In addition to the local history woven into the Trail, Curriculum Frameworks Standards will be used to form the basis for questions associated with each site.

Students will photograph sites on the tour.  Digital cameras have been provided through a grant from the Digital Commonwealth.  The students' photographs will be used in power point presentations created by the students to feature Math problems encountered along the Government Connections trail. 

On Friday, October 30, 2009, students will walk from Higgins Middle School, past the Peabody Police Headquarters and the former Keefe School, and stop at the George Peabody House where they will view the Government Connections website, take a tour and have a snack.

A Peabody Public School bus will transport students from the George Peabody House to the Peabody Institute Library. Students will walk to Peabody City Hall to visit and proceed past the Peabody Fire Headquarters to the Leather City Common. A bus will transport the group from the Common to
Brooksby Farm for lunch before returning to school.

The students' power point presentations created as part of this project will be culled into a presentation and submitted to the National Math Trial which enables people to visit Peabody virtually through Math.
