First Week Back from Spring Break

4/22/2015

 
Friday: M-Step review
  • Go over first 9 problems, next 4 assigned
Thursday, April 16, PT: Sports or Music?
  • When kids are polling classmates, make sure they jot down initials or names 
  • Good opportunity to make connection to  Venn Diagrams
  • Assignment: first 9 problems in M-Step packet

Wednesday, April 15: Complete 3-Act Task, 25 Billionth Download and shoe laces
  • Shoe laces is a quick task that could work for homework
Tuesday, April 14 : Start 3-Act Task, 25 Billionth Download
  • Once again, kids loved a 3-Act
  • Quotes: "I'm not sure this is linear" and "Are you sure this is a constant rate of change?"  (FYI, it's not linear. It's exponential. So, it seemed linear at first...)
  • Make sure to let kids watch several minutes of the act 2 video, but don't forget the other resources that are available as PDFs
  • Kids will need phones, clocks, or some device to time.
  • Make sure kids understand they will need to come up with an answer as a specific time stamp.
  • Most teams solved using proportions, one team came up with a line of best fit. In both classes, we talked about the connections with these different approaches.
Monday, April 13
  • First day after spring break, many kids absent
  • Scavenger hunt of solving multi-step equations
  • I had two versions ready to go, which proved important since more than half the class needed the extra challenge.
