1) Class Discussion about homework: 
  • In groups, students shared correct response to PT: Rational or Irrational?
  • student presentation using document camera

2) Card Sort - done in teams, numbers as "rational" or "irrational (see picture below)
  • I was surprised at the results, especially the teams that had trouble with the meaning of "repeating"
  • promoted a lot of discussion and competition with teams (esp. 1st hour)

3) PBIS lesson - bullying
