Kettle Falls School District Community Service

• All students are required to complete community
  service hours as a graduation requirement within
  their senior culminating project
• Redefining our community service requirement to
  include service learning projects
• District-wide effort to include service learning
  K-12

What is Service Learning?

• Combines service objectives with classroom
  learning objectives
• Involves young people in helping to determine and
  meet real, defined community needs.
• Is reciprocal in nature, benefiting both the
  community and the service providers by combining
  a service experience with a learning experience.

Why We Did This

• To help the fish hatchery
• To understand the math that goes into measuring
  and weighing fish
• To learn about management of math used in
  hatchery

15
The Data

• Weight and length
• Line of best fit
• Formula YMXB

Where Do We Go From Here?

• Continuing the Math
• From Linear to Quadratic to Data
  Distributions/Centers of Measure
• Connecting math with wildlife
• Future Work
• Continue to develop our partnership with the
  Department of Fish and Wildlife
