6th grade math

Accelerated class: 

Monday (12/8, in class) - 
1. Look over Pine Tree Transformations.
2. If finished - hand in Transformers Transformations.
3. Winter wonderland project. Link here for instructions.

These are the standards for the week:

7.G.A.1

Solve problems involving scale drawings of geometric figures, including computing actual lengths and areas from a scale drawing and reproducing a scale drawing at a different scale.

6.G.A.3

Draw polygons in the coordinate plane given coordinates for the vertices; use coordinates to find the length of a side joining points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.

Tuesday (12/9, in class) - Winter wonderland project.

Wednesday (12/10, in class) - FLL presentations
