Monday: Nesting Dolls

1) Finish up ISN from Friday - pages 18 and 19, Rational/Irrational Numbers
2) Performance Task: Russian Dolls

• 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.
