Line Segments, Brainbashers and Countdown

Hello parents and students!

It was so wonderful to see so many parents and students during the student led conferences. We're looking forward to having band camp students and parents come in next week.

One of the big talking points in the math classroom was the Brainbashers and Countdown mental math games that we play on a daily basis. Many parents and students have requested the links for these games. The "Daily 30" are problems that we cover in class, but the main website includes many different math games and puzzles.

This week in math we began to discuss line segments, along with squaring and square rooting.

A few methods for solving the area of a tilted square can be found in this video. Another good video that was not shown in class can be viewed by clicking here.

Line Segment Questions handed out in class can be viewed by clicking here.

Upcoming Due Dates:

Line Segments Questions - Due Monday November 25
History of a Mechanical System Presentation (For non-band camp students) - Due Monday November 25

A Final Message Before The Break

Hello 8's! We both just wanted to send out a final message. Since next week is spring break, we won't be receiving or replying to messages until Sunday, March 29. We have all been working hard over the past few months, so we encourage you to step away and relax. As we mentioned in our post from Monday, this past week was still a school week - albeit from home - but you are now officially on spring break. Powerschool has been updated with this week's assignments that were collected. If anything is reflecting as "missing" or "incomplete," that means that we have not received it. This could be a technical issue, but we encourage you to double check (You all know about Mr. Badr's frustration with some vanishing google doc shares) We know there is a lot of uncertainty about what is going to happen after the break. We can't answer your questions regarding that. Please keep an eye on your emails from the CBE and/or TMC School for messages on any u...
