Delta High School freshman will see how math concepts learned in the classroom apply to real-world situations with a hands-on lesson from Columbia Basin College’s Engineering Technology students on Tuesday, December 15.

CBC Associate Professor Paige Wyatt and her sophomore students will set up total stations and assist the Delta High students in learning how to use the surveying equipment to read angles. The Delta High freshmen will take the data back to their math class, taught by Linda Estes, to see if it adds up.

The activity will be done with all five math classes running between 8:30 a.m. and 3 p.m., at or near the Delta campus in Richland. For more information, please call Delta High School at 544-8355.
