8-30-2013 Pencil Trick, Buzz Math, and Yellow Obi Testing!

First things first:  The Pencil Trick!  Let's see who has mastered this talent!

Today we will take our District Assessment.  Don't worry if you don't know how to do many of the problems.  This test is used to see what you know and what you need to learn.

Today you will have the opportunity to test for the Yellow Belt after the District Assessment.  If you get 4 of the 5 problems correct, you will receive your Yellow Obi.  Don't worry!  I don't expect many people to pass and you will get to try again next Friday!

Finally, Buzz Math is working!  We will check it out today!

Other agenda items:

• If time, we will create our Blogger.
• We need to share our folders in Drive with our teachers.

8-26-2013 Judo Math

Judo Math
Some students have mixed feelings about math.  They know we need math but they don't really like it.

Today we will talk about a new approach to math called Judo Math!

Remember:  Everyday you will need to bring a composition book to use as a math and science journal.

In your planner and on your Google Calendar, write:
Homework - learn the pencil trick by Friday.

Then close your Netbooks but don't log off.
