Homework – Due April 11th

Class Summary:

This week we explored the mobius strip. We also saw what happened if you cut around the mobius strip in the middle or in thirds. We viewed some artwork from MC Escher. We learned about Leonhard Euler and solved the Bridges of Konigsberg Puzzle. We also worked on solving equations and completed maze. We simulated solving a multi-step equation by figuring out how much money was in a set of Easter eggs. And we quizzed each other on multiplying and dividing integers.

Homework for this Week:

• Print the Accountability Sheet and return it to class next week. If you are unable to print it, write down the information on a piece of paper to turn in during class.

• Work on your curriculum goal. We only have 3 classes after Spring Break! You will be reporting on the completion of your curriculum goal on April 18th.

• Play a game with a member of your family or a friend. Here are some options:
  • Play a game we have already played in class.
    • Dandelions
    • Neighbors (5×5)
    • Boxed In
    • Tenzi
    • Tic-Tac-Toe Sums or Products with positive number or integers
    • Oddball
    • Hopping Hundred
    • Mancala
    • Magic Grid Trick
    • Battleship
      • Additional guidelines:
        • Ships must be placed on integer coordinates (corners), not fractions or decimals.
        • Ships must be horizontal or vertical, not diagonal.
        • Do not place on the outside line. Keep it in the -6 to 6 range.
  • Rook: You can learn how to play Rook with your family using the deck of cards given in class.
  • Play another game with your family. Most games involve math is some way. Strategy and critical thinking are an important part of math, so those are awesome skills we can practice when playing games.
  • Play a game from this website:
    • MWBD – Games (mathgameswithbaddrawings.com)
    • L.A.P. Game (mathgameswithbaddrawings.com) – This game is similar to battleship, but more challenging. You can try it online by yourself or using graph paper with a friend or family member.

• Optional: Complete the coordinate graphing pictures from class. For each picture you complete, you can get a prize from our treasure chest. I cannot link them due to copyright issues. But if you forgot to pick them up, you can get them from me next week. You can turn them in anytime before the end of the school year.
