Homework for Thursday, September 4

Due Friday, September 5

Today in class, students learned a magic trick. They had time to watch the trick, take notes, talk about it, then practice it alone and with a partner. These are all student skills we are practicing in addition to noticing how broad the subject of math is and how this trick is indeed a math problem. I have started my math year with this trick for the past 20+ years and it sets the stage for all that is to come. Enjoy!

Their homework guidelines are to:

First perform the trick completely.

Then explain the trick and show how it works. 

Finally, get a signature from the person they performed it for. 

*Please ask them questions; it helps to complete the learning circle!

There are no penalty points for late assignments in math, but they must be handed in to the In-box in class within 2 weeks of the due date.
