1st & 2nd Photo Collage:
Mr. Snyder built this hand-crafted model gas station and shared it with the Math classes. The students learned that Mr. Snyder has an architect degree, and he built this model to scale. During his talk, the students learned many new math terms and recognized many shapes in the building. The building was from the late 40s early 50s, this gas station is still standing near his parent's home in western Oktibbeha County. In the 40s and 50s gas stations sold general merchandise, so residents didn't have to travel far to get supplies. The 2nd building is a model of a Log Cabin - it was made to model the old cabins people used to live in. Thank you, Mr. Snyder, for sharing and teaching us how Math and History go together. #WeirExcellenceShines
