10/21/2014

1) Fill in any new information based on PT: Nesting Dolls for the following learning target: When are exponents used and why are they important?  
  • Student responses centered around using exponents to find a rule as opposed to using an exponent to simplify repeated multiplication.
  • For both classes, I planted the idea of using exponents to describe something getting smaller (intro to decay)

2) Go over homework answers 1-19 in small groups followed by my explanation for lingering questions

3)  Three Act Task: Cubes
  • Kids were completely mystified by the video and somewhat annoyed.  : )
  • It's important to have models for kids to use when learning to draw isometric shapes
  • We stopped after Act 2 and will complete this task tomorrow
  • Video for Act 1 Here

4) Assignment: We did several together from the bottom of yesterday's exponent handout to review substitution then for homework, students complete Odds Only on the side called "Substitution."
