A Past Student.....

A 162 alumni stopped in to see me today and I completely forgot to take a picture.  That, like, TOTALLY never happens.

It was great seeing you Brooke.  Thank you so much for dropping by.  One thing I think people underestimate is just how special it is for teachers to see past students.

In honor of you Brooke, I dusted this old comic strip off.

Say 'Hi' to your parents for me.  Let me know if your dad ever needs someone to step in and help him FIGHT FIRE!!--- Caaaaauuuuuussssseee I would be there in a heart beat.  :)

Speaking of...

Mr. Morgan and Brooke's father in a little film you may have heard of before-- Backdraft :)

Congrats to:  Aaron

Mrs. Miller and I had two differing approaches to this problem.  Mrs. Miller went with a more spatial approach (below).

I went with a more number-based approach (below).

Using Blocks (and line plots) to Find Mean....

Students had to show mean (average) on line plots. There was a twist, though.  In their groups they had to show mean using 2 differing line plots, where the data is distributed differently in each one.

Example below...

Devin's line plot shows a mean of 4.

Lilly (in Devins group) also showed a mean of 4, but her data is distributed differently.

A little twist to this one.  Look for the red yarn!!

And as always....take an adult.

Can you see the little red dot in the center?
