10-7-2013 Rework!

Chairs for Mentors today!
Morning Core Mentors:  Jaycee, Jenna B, Lily, Liliana!
Afternoon Core Mentors: Tyler B, Christelle, Zac, Carson!

Some people wrote that no one helped them.  This means you are not doing your rework correctly! You are not to do your Rework alone.  You didn't know how to do it the first time.  You need to FIND SOMEONE WHO DID IT CORRECTLY and ask them to explain it to you!  Many of you are doing your Reworks INCORRECTLY!  This is a waste of your time and mine because I have to grade them twice!

Missing Reworks for this week (not counting past weeks):
Morning Core: Shelley, Tosh, Jenna B, Sam, Joseph, Carlos, Ozzy, Jaycee, Santi, Corey, Eduardo, Lily, Tyler, Harvey!
Afternoon Core:  Justin, Christopher, Josh, Chris, Theo, Christian, Race, Herson, Richie!

Check your progress in Power School!

Reworks today.  Put the date due (Thursday 10-10) and the Assessment Letter (A, B, C) on your Rework.

Find someone who knows how to do the problem correctly!  Reworks are due on Thursday.  Please turn in early if you finish.  That way I can grade it and get it back quick so you can study for next Advancement.

Let's focus on Explanations today.

For your Explanation, I am looking for you to explain the math rule that you are using.  For example, some people say "I put the decimal in the wrong place."

That is not a good Explanation.

A good explanation would be:  I put the decimal in the wrong place because problem was $9.75 times 32 hours and I know that 10 x 32 is $320.  I realize now that I should have estimated first.  Then I would have known that 32 x 9.75 is $312 not 31.2.

Another example would be -23 is more than -27 because it is closer to zero on a number line.

This is not a good example of an explantation and not a good rule.  Why is this not a good rule?

Planner
Homework:  you should be doing 1-2 pages each day in your Scroll!

Reworks due Thursday.

Don't forget your paper The Fundraiser Thermometer.  (purple paper)  Due tomorrow.
