Today we learned about circles and its properties. Students were taught what the radius, diameter, circumference, and Pi are. There's a lot to remember! Miss Bickel showed the students the following video which is great at explaining each concept. Today we began our March Madness contest on www.tenmarks.com. We are currently in a contest for the month of March trying to win our class a set of 30 Kindle Fires. Second place prize is a set of 15 Kind Fires. Third place is a $500 Amazon gift card! We are in it to win it! Students have "assignments" on Ten Marks that I assign based off of our standards that allows them to show mastery of math skills. In the process, all correct answers help our class average which will determine the winner in the end. Students took home a letter today with their username which is also their password. Students may also complete assignments at home by logging in and playing. The better we do, the better chance we have to win! |
