Work period

Rather than hand out a long list of questions today, each group of two or three were given one question to do, and then they switched cards when complete. 

Our questions dealt with proving what shape was created when 3 or 4 given points are connected.  And calculating perimeter or area or comparing lengths or slopes of diagonals.  

Some students were working on the blackboard

And others were hard at work with the whiteboards

A major break through has come in our class…whiteboard cleaning has been a challenge in the past, but a colleague has suggested that fuzzy socks from the dollar store make the best erasers.  The whiteboards are now always clean, because cleaning them is fun!
