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.

I am trying to update my blog from my phone. This is a test. Let's see if it works.

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:
