There were a lot of things they learned at the camp that will help them be successful in their Algebra I course.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Five LFHS teachers kept the student focused on algebra, and showed off their talents in front of their families at the closing ceremony Thursday, including a demonstration about the Pythagorean Theorem, breakout boxes with Algebra concepts and scavenger hunting for algebraic readiness. One group of students programmed a Texas Instruments Innovator Hub and Rover to draw a picture of a bear.<\/p>\n<p>In the 2017-18 school year, Los Fresnos CISD eighth-grade students posted a 100 percent passing rate for Algebra I EOC, and averaged 90 percent at the master&#8217;s level at the three middle schools. Ninety-seven percent of the eighth-grade Algebra I students who attempted the Texas Success Initiative (TSI) assessment passed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have amazing teachers who take pride in teaching Algebra I,&#8221; Tudon said. &#8220;Their focus is not just for our students to pass the course or pass the state assessment, but to get our students college-ready.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Ronnie Zamora\/LFCISD While most students are relaxing during their summer break, a group of almost 100 incoming eighth graders were sharpening their math skills.
