Mobiles and Matching

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 also did this activity just yesterday with my geometry kids. I like the fact that it's not necessarily a direct match up, so they have to think.

  3. I really like the string art! What was the assignment? I'd love to do something like that on one of our million half days.

  4. I know, I'm so impressed with them. Some made earrings, some made things to look like birthday presents ... I can't take responsibility for their creativity. The assignment was really simple and basically in this post:

    I think part of the success was that it was over the summer and they may have had more time to be thoughtful.

    Sometimes I get better results if I add this to my "rubric": ADD A WOW FACTOR ... basically wow me somehow.

    I'm not more specific than that, and usually they push themselves on it.

  7. Do you have an answer key to the worksheet? The answers are debatable.

  8. I'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.

  9. Hi 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?
