Merging Math and Football

Students in Mrs. Ruffner’s 7th-grade math students at Penn Middle School enjoyed collaborating and solving football-themed math problems in November.  Various math skills were enforced with each activity, and the first team to successfully complete all the tasks was awarded the annual Turkey Bowl Trophy.  The winning team was Anthony Lathom, Mia Biskup, and Reese Schwer.
