Welcome to our online Math Problem Solving Poster exhibit.
In this post you will see an array of constructed posters by the grade 87 summer school split class.
The students were introduced to photography and worked on using composition, colour saturation, contrast, and tilt shift focus to construct an enticing photo.
Using the application OVER the students then added a specific quote to go with the photo to make a poster that is a motivational guide to problem solving.
Browse and comment on these tremendous creations.
The pictures are listed below and categorized

Holes Part 1
Holes
The motto of Camp Green Lake is that is you take a bad boy and make him dig a hole everyday for 18 months he will eventually become a good boy
Does physical labour build character and make you a better person? Use evidence from the real world to defend your position and then engage in dialogue with two other students to restate and attempt to sway others to share your opinion.
Recall that it is important to respond to everyone that responds to your response and actively seek out two students with opposing views to engage in dialogue
"You thirsty?"
"Yes Mr. Sir"
"Well, get use to it"
