Bookfair

We previewed the bookfair today.  Students wrote down (or took a picture with their ipod, ipad, iphone; etc) book they are wanting to get.

I recommend this book for anyone who may be taking pre-algebra or algebra next year.

 

Geocache....

Congrats to Allyson, Aaron, Andrew P, Sam , Olivia, Alex, and Cayla for finding the geocache over the weekend.  They each recieved a 500-point card.

My Weekend.....

Tristan, Brooklyn and Cooper's cousins, Payton and Jack,  came down to the lake for the weekend.  We went trick-or-treating at the state park, went to the Moose for dinner and arcade games, and then told ghost stories by a campfire.

In Class Today....

Science:
We did 2 mini-labs on density.

 

Math I:
We worked on the Locker Problem (Investigation 5 of Prime Time).  Students needed to turn in p. 64 C (#'s 1, 2, and 3) and E (#'s 1, 2, 3, and 4) before the end of BCO.


Math II:
We worked on Investigation 1.2:  Folding Fraction Strips.

Students had to fold strips of paper into equal parts without using rulers or measuring them in any way.  Trust me, it's harder than it sounds.

Ever try folding a strips of paper into thirds???  I'm sure you have...

How about fifths???

What about these....

 

100-point clue....

What do these sland terms and expressions describe? 

* The pill.

* Squeezing the pumpkin.
* I'll make it rain out here!!!
