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.
