Yes, I was out Friday and it threw the classes a little off schedule as they were unable to complete their assignments properly so I am giving you all one more day to correct anything that was misunderstood from the day I was gone. Challenge math is right on schedule and started their Wump Hats today by making their predictions for how the new rules/equations will affect where the hat moves on the graph. We will continue tomorrow...
REMINDERS:
~Don't forget that throughout this unit, if you ever see anything that has to do with what we are learning in class (stretching/shrinking), bring it in (or a description of it) to share with the class and Miss Kohr will give you extra points for your class grade! :-)
Today's homework:
Challenge: None
Regular: Finish any area/perimeter sheets and Wumps not finished by today (you are getting an extra day...LUCKY!)
Also: remember to...
~Redo any assignments necessary (you have one week to redo work in math)
~KEEP STUDYING THOSE MATH FACTS...you could have another timed test any day now :-) :-) :-)
Question of the Day: In a single Ping-Pong tournament with 20 players, how many games must be played to determine a winner?
**YOU CAN'T JUST LOOK THIS UP ON THE INTERNET...YOU MUST SHOW ME A MATH STRATEGY FOR FIGURING OUT YOUR ANSWERS TO GET IT CORRECT!!!**
Good luck my savvy students!!! Remember, the first student to answer the Question of the Day correctly will get a small prize from me the next day! :-)

I think that the answer is 18 games.
************STRATEGY************
20 PLAYERS DIVDED BY 2 PLAYERS A GAME EQUALS 10 PEOPLE LEFT IN THE GAME.
10 PLAYERS DIVDED BY 2 PLAYERS A GAME EQUALS 5 PEOPLE LEFT IN THE GAME.
5 PLAYERS DIVDED BY 2 PLAYERS A GAME EQUALS 2.5 WITH ONE PERSON LEFT OVER. THEN ONE WINNER PLAYS HIM.
2 PLAYERS DIVIDED BY 1 LOSER EQUALS A WINNER
10 + 5 + 2 + 1 = 18
You are close but that is not the correct answer...try again girlie! :-)
