Due to School Play and Wrestling Exhibition, I only had part of my 7th/8th block which time was used to organize math notebook and get caught up on missing/make-up work.

Have a Great Christmas!

12/19/12

Both classes:
Wrote down 20 facts from Discovery Education videos. The first video was on Ancient Greek contributions in math(including The Pythagorean Theorem,taught earlier in the year!). The second video was on Ancient Egyptian contributions in math(including the base 10 number system).

Discussed these mathematical contributions after video.
