Today we shifted our focus from the work on lines and slope to a problem-solving activity, taken from the 1996-1996 6h grade math league national contest. This includes 40 "interesting" multiple choice math questions that students have 30 minutes to complete. A score of 15 is quite good.
These scores will be used to divide the class into small teams that will work together on basic skills, in preparation for a year-end test of basic skills. They will also be able to work on some extra credit activities after complete the basic skill work.
There are a few students with some missing work and there will be extra credit opportunities for the remainder of the term, too. Otherwise, there is NO HOMEWORK.
