Jumping Jacks for Endurance

Today's experiment got off to a great start! I saw students using good team work skills and exercising a great deal of listening to each other to make the process work effectively. Way to go guys/gals! For those not in class today, we read pages 2-7 in our book and discussed the questions presented in the reading. Students came up with great ideas for which variables will affect both Sidney, Celia, Liz, Malcolm, and Theo's bike tour, as well as our number of jumping jacks in our experiment. Boy oh boy, do we have some intelligent students here at Hollenbeck! We will continue working on our experiment tomorrow, so get a good night's rest and be sure to wear comfortable shoes! :-)

Question of the Day: Pete Rose set a new record in 1985 for total number of hits in his career. He set this new record on the anniversary of the previous record-holder Ty Cobb's last time at-bat. In what year was Ty Cobb last at-bat? The number of years between records is a two-digit number. Both digits are primes. The smallest prime is the tens' digit. The sum of the digits is 12.

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! :-)

P.S. Be sure to be practicing your multiplication facts folks...you may have a timed test any day at any time! :-)
