a Playground Success Story
Principal Sam Slarsky, Falmouth, Mass., knows most
children prefer recess to math class. But he saw a great
opportunity to combine the two. Using Landscape
Structures’ Drop Shot, Mr. Slarsky developed a new
game that teaches kids how to double numbers in
math. The more kids shoot the ball into the funnel-
like basket, the more their points double. Through his
creativity and our flexibility and combined expertise,
we found a new way for kids to learn while having fun.
find more details about Mr. Slarsky’s game at playlsi.com/school-stories.
