You will design two “function machines” – one normal function that relates numbers and one FUNKtion that makes things funky (i.e. loud, colorful, energetic, dynamic). You must have at least 3 inputs and 3 outputs on each. You must also have the correct equation or description hidden under a flap on you function/FUNKtion somewhere. Templates are provided but you don’t have to use them.

This week, we will create an enormous number line that will contain really, really, really small stuff and really, really, really big stuff. Your job is to create two 8.5” x 11” fact sheets using information found at http://htwins.net/scale2/. One about a really, really, really SMALL thing and one about a really, really, really BIG thing. Each sheet needs to have a picture, the name of the thing, 10 facts about the thing, color, and the size of the thing written in scientific notation.
This week and next, we will study geometric transformations in iMath class through the lense of Super Mario and other classic platform games. Students will perform operations in the coordinate plane to manipulate simple geometric forms and conceptualize their own Mario style game.
This week, students will create a series of geometric constructions to explore the notion of irrational numbers. We will integrate music, art, architecture, Pokemon, and biology into math. These should be due Friday.
This week in iMath, you are going to create a colorful, humorous game based on Chutes and Ladders. You’ll make a full-color, decorated game board with 100 squares numbered 0.1 to 10 in intervals of 0.1. Some of the squares will be connected to others with ladders allowing players to go up and some will be connected with chutes forcing players to slide down. Each chute and ladder must be labeled with the math showing how it works. You must have at least 4 chutes and ladders representing addition, subtractions, multiplication and division. You must also make a spinner using five fractions between 1/10 and 4/5 and five decimals between 0.1 and 0.8. Lastly, include a page of computation showing you know how to do math with rational numbers. Mr. Deeble will give you templates for the game board and the spinner to get you started.
This week in iMath, you are going to create a colorful, humorous game based on a fictional bank account. You’ll make a full-color, decorated game board with pictures on either side and a number line (-$1,200 to $1,200) between them. Also, you will need to make 13 strips of paper with a numeric value between -600 and 600 (i.e. -600, -500, -400…600) represented by receipts, dollars, and checks. Two players then draw from an envelope full of financial documents and move back and forth along the spectrum to see if they finish with a surplus (positive), end up broke (zero), or fall deep into debt (negative).
For this week, students copied down four precepts about intelligence. Their assignment is to choose one of the four and create a visual display to represent it. It is due the next class. Only two classes this week!
