Session+8

April 29, 2011 Today was another work day, focusing mostly on finding the areas and perimeters of all their rides so that they could start to put this information on their PowerPoints. Every group has now at least began working on their PowerPoint. It was good that the groups focused on finding area and perimeter because that helped them stay focused and on task. They seemed to get more done than usual because they had more of a set task. Both the posters and PowerPoints are coming along nicely, and we are excited to see the final projects! We had hoped that the students would finish today, but they did not. This has taught us a lesson in being flexible as a teacher. We will give them more time on Monday and believe that they should finish by then.
