1) Finish up ISN from Friday - pages 18 and 19, Rational/Irrational Numbers
2) Performance Task: Russian Dolls
  • Many groups will use a height of 9 for the largest.  Check to see if groups have a value of 4 or 3 for the 3rd largest (part 1).  This generated a good class discussion.  Then, groups encouraged to go back to an initial height of n.
  • Drawing dolls helps
  • Groups will likely need more scaffolding on this one.  As a group made a step in the right direction, I had a team member show the class - this happened in about 4 steps for the performance task.
  • Final Student Product:

3) Assignment: Skills practice, handout for simplifying exponents.  We did a few from each section together. Students finish others 1-19.
