The Formula for Good Bacon

Secondary Numeracy - Workplace Math in the TechEd Classroom

Join us in celebrating the dynamic Apprenticeship and Workplace Math 11 program, led by teacher Charles Messinger through Salmo Secondary School's technology education program!

Our innovative approach to math education blends theory with hands-on projects, empowering students to apply math concepts in real-world scenarios. From designing projects using measurements, estimations, scaling, and 3D thinking to calculating project costs with precision, our students are gaining valuable skills that will serve them in their future careers.

Take a glimpse into our program through the eyes of student Mike Horvath, who brilliantly calculated material costs for his rocket stove design. Witness our students in action as they use the stove he crafted to cook bacon, demonstrating the practical (and delicious) applications of math in trades and technology education.

At Salmo Secondary School, we believe that math is not just a subject, but a means for developing lifelong career-oriented numeracy skills!
