I was SO excited for the 1st weekend to come after school started, so that I could catch up on sleep. Didn't happen. Apparently, my body now thinks it's a great idea to try existing on 6 hours per night or so. BUT this is only in the school year. Go figure. AND I have jury duty on Monday. What's up with that?
Anyway, I had some great projects come back from our summer packet for geometry kids. The kids are so creative. Here are some:

I'm not more specific than that, and usually they push themselves on it.
Nice creations. Love the efforts of the art.

ReplyDeleteDo you have an answer key to the worksheet? The answers are debatable.
ReplyDeleteI'm having difficulty scoring the worksheet. Many of my students have answers that are different than mine, and I can see why they would have answered the way they did.
ReplyDeleteHi Natalie. There are problems with more than one solution, as the instructions state. Is it the case that y'all don't agree with each others' answers? Or is it something I am not getting. Which ones are issues?
