1) Before the tardy bell: Students are given a small post-it note with a number written on it.  They are instructed to place it correctly on the Venn Diagram describing real numbers.  Their number should be placed in the most specific location based on its definition.

Before, as left by students:                                                                                                           After Class Discussion:

2) Grading homework in groups - went MUCH better today as kids had a second go around of classification of numbers.

3) PT: Alien Invasion
  • Students worked in teams to identify patterns that describe rules of exponents and come up with a rule that works
  • Rules formulated for 1) power to a power, 2) multiplication of same bases, 3) division of same bases, 4) negative exponents, 5) zero exponents and 6) products raised to a power.

4) ISN: Students received a foldable note to summarize rules of exponents. We only had time to identify each, but not put in notebooks.

NO homework!!! : )
