Its about time we heard from you, was starting to think you have forgotten about us already.

I am posting a notebook check for activties 1-5. I kind of stole this from Matt's web site. Hope he doesnt mind    Please feel free to add/delete etc as needed that was he wont just think I stole it.. jk.. But still it has really helped with my students to stay on task..  I did this to help some of my less organized students as well as those who were not attending school the first 2 weeks of school.  Hope it helps.

Did you have any problems with the “For You To Do” section? 

I am half way finishing activity one and expected to finish it in next class Pd.Most of my students got terrible result so we had to spend lot of time discussing results.
Here are some things we noted.
Bottom of salad bowl is too flat as a result low start readings do not give expected result. Smaller steel ball of one c.m gave better result compared to the one provided in the kit. It’s hard to get 9 readings using 2-3 c.m balls in 32c.m distance (semi circumference). Some of my students faced difficulty in measuring distances using flexible ruler so we use paper tape.
