More graphing!

We started today with our green review sheet, and then checked our homework from last night -- only to begin another graphing Cartesian cartoon! Some finished this during class and others will want to work on it at home this evening for homework.

Graphing!

We've started reviewing for our final (more on that soon) bit by bit during class time now, and we've moved from integers into graphing points on the coordinate plane! It's very, very exciting. Tonight your kids will come home with a "cartesian cartoon" - a graphing/drawing homework thing. The goal is to create a picture from connecting the dots together (correctly plotted dots, that is). It's called "Ben Franklin's Folly" and you should see it come out and be worked on tonight!

Mathematicians Quiz!

Today the kids took their Mathematicians Quizzes and I checked their integer packets (that they worked on this weekend!). Tomorrow we'll graph, and then we'll move into a fast-paced geometry unit! No homework.
