Day 1 is done...it's GREAT to be BACK!

It was great seeing everyone today.  We got through some of the general first day stuff and even got our brains back in to gear.

Remember...Be on Time, Be Prepared, Be Respectful...Be Responsible for your own learning!

Tomorrow we will look a little closer at our expectations for this year and probably even had out textbooks.

Here is a recap of some of the things we looked at today:

We looked at a few pictures and discussed what we saw...one was an optical illusion and the other was a diagram with some numbers(shown below). 

What Can You Do With This

From Dan Meyers Blog

My Algebra 2 classes were presented with this problem that I found on MathNotations

After 4 tests, Barry's average score was 5 points higher than Michelle's. After the 5th test, Michelle's overall average was 5 points higher than Barry's. Michelle's score on the 5th test was how many points higher than Barry's?

Can you find at least three methods for solving this?
 
 
The class discussions were awesome for the first day of school.  I can't wait to really see what my students can do with math.
 
Until tomorrow,
