Montgomery 
Math Trail

We are Miss Hoffman’s class of 2003-2004. We go to Thompson Intermediate School in Alabaster, Alabama. We went on a field trip to Montgomery. While we were there we thought we could do a Math Trail. We visited the Civil Rights Memorial, the Judicial Building, the Planetarium, the Capitol Building, the Museum, Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, and the Rosa Parks Museum. We had a great time doing the Math Trail.
