MATH STEPS — Students at Piscataquis Community Elementary School in Guilford will have a new way to practice math facts when they return to class Aug. 30. Teachers Brenda Post, Lindy Gokas and Grace McGeehan spent one of their last vacation mornings installing bumper stickers with multiplication equations on the lobby stairs.

In addition to seeing and saying the facts on their way up to classrooms, students can create games to play with the stair facts to get both physical and mental exercise.
