Fraction fun fills the hallways at Hamilton School

As state testing approaches, third-grade students at Hamilton School are sharpening their skills in creative ways, stepping beyond the classroom to bring learning to life.

In classes led by Julie-Ann Barbuto/Alfredo Riullano and Flavia Garufi/Wendy Lang, students recently turned their second-floor hallway into an interactive learning space as part of their fractions unit. Using everyday surroundings such as lockers, wall space and even beanbags, students worked in small groups to identify patterns, explore arrays and deepen their understanding of fractional concepts.

The activity fostered strong collaboration, with students asking questions, supporting one another and ensuring everyone stayed engaged. The hands-on experience not only reinforced key math skills but also showed how creativity and teamwork can transform any space into a meaningful learning environment, all while building confidence ahead of testing season.
