Thumbs up to Ms. Owens who took her math students on a VR journey through an ancient castle where they could only reach the end by correctly answering ALGEBRA problems! By differentiating the lesson, she helped small groups while others were enriched! @hickoryschools@VXRLabs

Ms. Lee-Lyttle and I led an algebra class activity in VXR Labs' "Algebra: The Scales of Al-Khwarizmi" today! Students learned about solving equations by virtually weighing such items as cows, cabbages, bears, and yachts! VR learning is fun!
