My computer is down until the computer technician can work on it. I cannot get into Crosspointe until then.
The students worked on an activity in class. It is due tomorrow. It is the "Wump" activity. They are plotting 5 characters on grids and describing their similarities and non-similarities using the rules provided in the table. The directions are on pages 22 and 23 in the "Stretching and Shrinking" workbook. This activity supports the standard M7G3a,b.
Homework: Finish the "Wump" activity.

No School Today!
Well, we worked on check 1 Friday. It is a check to see how well the student understood Investigation 1. The book assumes the students remember area and perimeter formulas for polygons. They learned the formulas in 6th grade. I will give formal notes the day we return.
We reviewed multiplying decimals. Students also had a review on changing percent to decimal, so they could calculate percents. All of these exercises were reviewing concepts learned last year.
After the review, we used the formulas to compare two figures and discussed their similarities.
Stay warm!
