The sequence answer...and more!

The sequence I posted on the board Friday was a special sequence called the Fibonacci Sequence. Here is a clip and how it relates in nature:

On another personal and math related note: I enjoy running. I'm not fast by any means, but I think it is a good outlet to let out energy and relieve stress. I have a personal goal of running a 10K in under an hour. A 10K is 6.21 miles. Yesterday I ran 6.204 miles in exactly 60 minutes. Did I or did I not make my goal? Why or why not?

Week one down

We survived the first (half) week. I don't know if you guys were as exhausted as I was, but I sure am excited about a great year. I have enjoyed getting to know each of you and look forward to what this year holds for us all. I hope you had fun at the Big/little brother sister program. Who knew Ms. Pritchard was such a comedian?!?! Here are some pictures from friday:

Welcome Back!

I hope you all had a wonderful summer. While I am sad to see it come to an end, I am excited about getting to know each of you. Check back frequently at my blog to see how math is used in everyday life and for updates. This summer I had a wonderful opportunity to conduct an experiment in zero gravity with 4 other wonderful All Saints' teachers. Here are a few pictures of my adventure.
