2/24

Sixth graders are scheduled to do their Math and Reading test this next Friday and next Tuesday. Those who wish to do both in one are a welcome to otherwise they may split the testing into 2 sections. Not ever student will test, some will do two and some will only take the Reading or the Math.

IMP 1- The big assignment so far is POW 10. At this point student should have found a job and an apartment. They are also suppose to be talking with their parents about making a budget for their money. They have to take into account bills, take home pay vs. hourly pay, food, etc.

There was also a worksheet on planning out a road trip and dividing those costs.

IMP 2- The tessellation POW was due early this week. I assigned homework 17 for tonight and we did "triangles are boring" in class. HW 16 and 15 are past due.

IMP 3- Simon presented a lesson on Modular Arithmetic today, Jeff presented rotating functions using integrals to find volumes. Each night I assigned a WS involving the graphs of derivatives and anti-derivatives.

Fibers- We learned how to Felt this week! Forget the soap wars.
