Hey everyone!
Our next (last!) skillset of the 2nd 9 weeks is...you guessed it...formulas! In SOL 6.10, we take the elementary geometry (circles basics, rectangle/square/triangle calculations) and add a few extra twists, like:
- Derive the value of pi (read: why is pi 3.14???)
-Find Volume and Surface Area of a given rectangular prism (box)
-Apply problem solving the formula knowledge to real-life situations
As we near the end of the term, there are several students who would benefit from re-quizzing. I will provide this service, as long as the requirements have been met (signed quiz, as needed, corrections done, conference with me) by January 29th (Friday). Missing work can be turned in, for reduced credit, until that date as well.
Our next two assessments will be:
Thursday, 1/21- Vocab quiz
Wednesday-Friday, 1/27-29- SOL 6.10 TEST
BYOD ANNOUNCEMENT! There will be another BYOD session, tentatively scheduled for Friday, January 22nd in class. We will also need a variety of boxes that day (think macaroni and cheese...nothing huge). I have asked students to search for mobile apps that are related to home design, like Home Design 3D (http://www.homedesign3d.net/EN/). Suggestions welcomed. Please remember: no wifi access is granted to students, at this time. Any apps needed for class must be brought to class. Our classroom will be GREEN ZONE for mobile device use for part of class only! All devices will be stowed by the end of class.
Video notes (below) will be due Friday, January 22nd. A video session will be held at lunchtime, Thursday, 1/21.
