Eighth grade students are responding to some math assignments electronically through the use of the gaggle school e-mail accounts. Seventh graders will receive their accounts in the future. This is just one way students are explaining their thinking about math strategies.
ALl 7th and 8th grade students are to complete the whole number gym, all four operations, all to large trophies Eighth grade students will continue refining their math knowledge using an online game created by MIT called Lure of the Labyrinth. They will receive unique usernames and passwords for this game on Thursday, September 2nd. You can check it out too. Here is the link: http://labyrinth.thinkport.org/www/
The seventh grade math students are learning Geometer's Sketchpad, a dynamic geometry computer program. They are experiencing geometry in ways that let them move points, lines, polygons and circles, as well as measure and compute formulas with the ease of moue clicks. The students are enjoying this new way of looking at geometry,
I have given each student their new first in math username and passwords. I encourage students to work on first in math in their spare time in study halls and/or at home. Watch the students' accounts because soon they will have enough stickers to enable your family accounts. Parents and siblings are encourage to play too.
Calculation Nation has posted a new game called Prime Time. Bonus points are awarded for landing on consecutive primes. Choices of dice, spinners and coin flips provide the added dimension of probability to this game. I've played Prime Time against the computer and thought it was a fun game. Try it out yourself. See you online!
Remember your First in Math account is active through July 31. Everyone will receive new usernames and passwords in August.
Enjoy your summer! |
