Geometry CP just finished their transformations project. If you need anyone to layout your floor plan these kids are a great option. #twolves7pride

[Mr. Briggs @MrBriggs4]

Students in Alegrba 2 CP are starting to learn about exponential growth and decay. What better way to start than with an activity and candy! They didn’t even realize how often they see growth and decay in real life! #twolves7pride

[Mr. Briggs @MrBriggs4]

It’s fun giving a group quiz and listening to the students debate which answer is correct. It’s fun to sit back and listen to the reasoning. I feel like this is a true indicator if kids understand the topics. If they can explain it to others #twolves7pride

If you need an apartment floor plan, then you need to get a hold of GeoCP Designs. They are masters of taking an apartment and applying transformations to create a floor plan for downtown living. #twolves7prideMHS

My job gets much easier when students can explain concepts to others and help clear up confusion #twolves7pridemhs

My day has started off pretty well. My AP Calc class surprised me with cupcakes for my birthday, and a student that is absent still took time to email me! These kids make days like this feel pretty special! #twolves7pride

[Mr. Briggs @MrBriggs4]

AP scores were released today and I am proud of how my kids did. It was a tough year since we didn’t make it through half of what we needed to. #twolves7pride

[Mr. Briggs @MrBriggs4]

When it’s the senior’s last day of school and they are excited they made it. I am going to miss this group of kids #twolves7pride

[Mr. Briggs @MrBriggs4]

Happy Pi day to all my math lovers out there!

[Mr. Briggs @MrBriggs4]

When your students think you need the Law of Cosines to enjoy dinner they make sure to write it out for you. #twolves7pridemhs

[Mr. Briggs @MrBriggs4]

It’s fun watching students being able to watch students figure out a tricky concept; it’s even more fun when it is in AP Calc #twolves7pridemhs

[Mr. Briggs @MrBriggs4]

My classes have decided that me teaching from home has the title of ‘Briggs in the Basement’ catch a new episode every day reruns every other hour. Quarantine isn’t fun my kids and I are making the best out of this situation. #twolves7pridemhs

[Mr. Briggs @MrBriggs4]

Algebra 2 CP is looking at the growth or decay of a virus, like the Coronavirus, using m&ms. Who says you can’t pull current events into math! #twolves7prideMHS

[Mr. Briggs @MrBriggs4]

A mad Mathematician has trapped Alg 1CP! They way to escape is to use their knowledge of exponential growth and decay functions! Escape or be stuck in math class for an eternity!! #Twolves7prideMHS

[Mr. Briggs @MrBriggs4]

Glad to know some kids are going to miss me while I am on Paternity Leave. I know I’m going to miss them while I am gone, but my wife and I are excited to add a little boy to our family! #twolves7prideMHS

[Mr. Briggs @MrBriggs4]

It’s kind of hard to finish a problem when someone keeps stealing your paper. Practicing solving systems by racing. #twolves7prideMHS

[Mr. Briggs @MrBriggs4]

Battle ship is the best way for kids to learn how to write equations for lines! Let’s see if they can sink my Battleships! #twolves7prideMHS

[Mr. Briggs @MrBriggs4]

Solving inequalities review today. Half the class working on problems around the room, the other half work on station problems. After half the class they switch for the rest of the hour. Easy way to get big classes up and moving #twolves7prideMHS

[Mr. Briggs @MrBriggs4]

Kids helping each other out to solve absolute value equations! #twolves7prideMHS
