It's no longer Fall.
It's no longer the season of hexaflexagons, vivid leaves, and spooks.
It is Winter.
As the outside world slows down, as Nature falls asleep, I hope the fire of your inner self continues to glow brightly.
11/3 MONDAY: (in class work) SNOW DAY
HAND IN: your "Bits and Pieces I" exit tickets.PRACTICAL GOAL: We need to use the NWEA data and CCSS Mathematical Practices to write goals for Student Led Conferences.
DURING CONFERENCES, work on this LEARNING GOAL: Introduction of ANIMATION project: A) Read this article. B) Watch this video tutorial.
LEARNING GOAL:Recognize linear and non-linear patterns in tables and graphs and describe those patterns using words and symbolic expressions.
HOMEWORK - Watch this YouTube video -Eitan Grinspun: From Sorcery to Science: How Hollywood Physics impacts the Sciences
Think about:
We will discuss this tomorrow.
11/4 TUESDAY: (in class work)

- HOMEWORK - Watch this YouTube video -
Think about:
- The very different goals of Hollywood mechanics (fun :) and engineering mechanics (boring :).
- How many famous mathematicians/scientists did Eitan mention? Who were they?
- How many different types of math did he mention? What were they?
We will discuss this tomorrow.
11/5 WEDNESDAY: (in class)
- DISCUSS: The Grinspun Video.
- Absolute Value Coloring Sheet
- LEARNING GOAL:
- Recognize linear and non-linear patterns in tables and graphs and describe those patterns using words and symbolic expressions. (Modeling with Mathematics - 8th grade CMP)
- HOMEWORK - TENMARKS: Do TWO assignments on TenMarks.
11/6 THURSDAY: (in class)
- LEARNING GOAL:
- Recognize linear and non-linear patterns in tables and graphs and describe those patterns using words and symbolic expressions.
11/7 FRIDAY: (independent)
- SCRATCH LAB. (Leave the computers with Mrs. Boone when you are done.) Follow this link and from there, decide to "try it out", "see examples" or "join". Have FUN!!!!!!
LOOKING AHEAD: Student led conferences Nov 6 & 10
Standards for next week:
Math.CCSS.Math.Content.6.G.A.2 | 2. Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths by packing it with unit cubes of the appropriate unit fraction edge lengths, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths of the prism. Apply the formulas V = l w h and V = b h to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems. |
Math.CCSS.Math.Content.6.G.A.4 | 4. Represent three-dimensional figures using NETS made up of rectangles and triangles, and use the nets to find the surface area of these figures. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems. |
