Tuesday January 27 - NOTES


NO HOMEWORK TODAY! 

Here are the notes we used in class, in case you didn't get the important stuff copied down. Mostly you just need to have the colored text (red and green) copied down, not the black text. You can just print this out, if you prefer.

Tuesday January 20 HOMEWORK

Assignment: Complete the final draft of POW 16 (p.402 in your textbook)

Details: Finish all sections of the POW that we have been working on.

1. Problem Statement - include a definition of a spiralateral (can be found on p. 400)

2. Process - explain how to draw a spiralateral (if not already explained in #1)
                 - explain our process as a class (you drew spiralaterals at school and at home, we looked for patterns as a class, etc)

3. a) attach at least one sheet of spiralaterals (on graph or dot paper) to your final draft
    b) mention the patterns we found in class (sequences of 4 numbers do not return to start point, bigger numbers make bigger rectangles)
    c) justify the patterns from b (all of my spiralaterals followed this pattern...)
    d) come up with at least one new question you have

4. Evaluate the experiment. Did you like it? Why or why not? Was it hard or easy?

**IF I DID NOT GO OVER YOUR ROUGH DRAFT IN CLASS, PLEASE EMAIL IT TO ME BEFORE THURSDAY**

Tuesday January 13 Homework

ASSIGNMENT: Today's homework is to complete a rough draft of your POW16 (p.400-p.402 in your textbook).

  DETAILS: This POW is based on the Spiralaterals we have been working on in class and at home. You need to answer all parts of the POW. Answers can be in point form for the rough draft. The rough draft is graded on effort, so as long as I see you have made a good effort on all parts of the POW you will get 10/10. We will work together on your POW before I assign the final draft. Don't forget to use the notes we took in class, which point out some patterns you found with your classmates.

  DUE: Tuesday January 20


  Please email me (adias@assets-school.net) if you have any questions or if you're having trouble.
