The Solution:

The Locker Problem...

So, I have this Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde part of me.  When it comes to Science, I love the robust, bold, creative, and intriguing.   In Math, I love to see organization, patterns and symmetry. 

Basically, in Science I like expressions of chaos, and in Math, order.


Here are 2 locker problem answers that really scratched that Math itch for me:

Nice job, Andrew P.!!

Way to go, Calista!!

In Class Today....

Science:
We reviewed for tomorrow's test by playing a Review Game called 'The Big Wheel'. The powerpoint is in the listing folder.  All students have the following to study from:  The book, notes, Rags-to-Riches game on Quia, Survivor Powerpoint (on the Listing Folder), the Big Wheel Powerpoint (on the Listing Folder).

 

If a group got an answer right they would come up spin the wheel, and then shoot a bball shot for points.

Writing:
We played Hangman and Matching on Quia.  Students also worked on Wordstudy Packets and their Descriptive Journal Final Copies that are due tomorrow by BCO (note: we will have 45 minutes of computer lab time to work on it tomorrow)

Math I:
We worked on Prime Factorizing numbers, and then putting those prime numbers in a Venn Diagram as a means of finding out the GCF and LCM of two numbers.


Math II:
We went over the resiliency question, and then we went over the Prime Time: Investigation 4 quiz. One of the most frequently missed questions on the quiz was the 'What Number am I?' piece.  So we did a few of those questions and discussed our strategies.  I then gave them this worksheet to complete:

 

100-point Clue:

Do you know what a single-access key is?  I bet you do and don't even realize it.  The point cards are behind a single-access key.
