Angle Alien Game YOU GOTTA PLAY IT!

Guys,

If you have not already, you have got to go to my blog posts for March of 2013 and look for Angle measurement post. Click on it and go to the link that is in there. The Angle Alien game shows up right away. It is sort of goofy, but it is a really fun and effective game and helps you to be able to approximate angle measurements. For those of you in my class, view and play this game as often as occasion permits, we will be starting that unit next Wednesday, December 11th (Unit 6).



Tomorrow at a glance (Wednesday, December 4, 2013)

Class,

     Tomorrow, we will be quite busy again in math, as we will be delving into an introduction of Unit 7 and measuring area, perimeter, and Circumference. We will also be doing some practice on the above mentioned concepts. We will also be looking at Algebraic Expression table and writing algebraic expressions for ratios that are not proportional but have a pattern. Like I told you all, I have moved Unit 5 Exam to nest Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on the outcome of the next few days' problem practice. We will be loaded with math the rest of this week, all next week, and Monday -Thursday of the following week.
       We will also be reading Chapter 11 out of 39 Clues and having not only a Chapter 11 Sketch but a short-write of the chapter as well.  We will also be discussing Russian Government and Looking at Transformation of Energy. We will also be having a social studies short-write.
