Algebra 1:
Mrs. Lehl's students had a section on the importance of different levels of accuracy in various situations. To apply this, students used pin gauges, dent balls and ground casing mandrels to determine the size of different instrument parts to
0.001”. Their data will be used to fix dented casing threads and sluggish valves, next week. #handsonlearning #realworldmath
