Math properties song

Unfortunately, I was not able to post a video of you guys singing the math properties song from class. Video was too long. I am making an executive decision and telling you guys that 4th period performed the best! I am posting the video we watched during class here. Please remember the tune is catchy but the information for one property is incorrect....which property is it??

Honoring 9/11

Our lives changed on that fateful day 10 years ago today. To honor all lives lost every NFL game rolled out an American flag that covered the entire football field. If the dimensions of the flag were 100 yards by 53 1/3 yards how many square feet of material was needed to make the flag? If the fabric cost $1.78/yard how much did one flag cost?

Lots of fun with a new concept

I had a great time with all my classes today. I love it when the "lightbulb" goes off in students' heads. We had a major shift in our thinking today when working with integers and making it "simple". They all did a great job. Enjoy some pictures from class today. I'm so proud of all of you.
