New Project: Who am I?

The Governor just announced that an African-American section will be added to the Museum of History. The Governor is requesting that 20 African-Americans be represented. 4 of them must be athletes, 5 of them must be women, 5 must be entertainers, 1 has to be an educator, 2 must be doctors, and 1 must be a politician. You are in charge of deciding who to include and developing an autobiographical sketch for the museum.

What do we know?
What do we need to know?
What is the plan?

Area and Perimeter

Before the holidays, students worked on projects about area and perimeter, or at least that was the original assignment. The projects seemed to have grown to cover and review lots of math topics we have discussed so far this year. The projects turned out even better that my original idea! :)
