Week 17 - End of Semester 1

 This week marks the end of the third grading period as well as the semester.  6th grade students have a project due on Friday  and Pre-Algebra students have a unit test and math journal check on Thursday.  These assignments could have a large impact on final grades.

6th Grade Announcements & Homework
This week we will be working on our scale model projects.  On Monday, we will do an example in class where we will measure the dimensions of a miniature cereal box, sketch it, apply a conversion factor, and sketch the model.  Students will need to bring in their own object on Tuesday to repeat the same activity.  Students will have time in class on Tuesday - Thursday to complete their individual projects.  On Friday, we will have a gallery walk for students to see each others work.  Over the winter break, students can earn extra credit by building an actual scale model of their object.

Monday (12/13): Scale Model W.S.; bring in project object
Tuesday (12/14): Scale Model Project (measurements and sketch)
Wednesday (12/15): Scale Model Project (calculations and sketch)
Thursday (12/16): Scale Model Project (complete poster)
Friday (12/17): Optional Extra Credit - Build your scale model
