Check out the “Paperwork” page up top on my blog. I just put a link to a document I’ve used in class called “Instructional Words in Math”. You will see these words (and others) used often in math texts, on math hand-outs and by math teachers and math peers.

Be sure to share any human body system research with partners. Please start finding time, even sometimes at home if you can log into your drive, and make your presentation better.

Attached here is the assignment: We’ve been working on it for 2 weeks. It is due in one week from now (Thursday, November 9th)

- plants…10cm to 15cm height plants that are safe to touch. (we need at least 6 similar plants to experiment with)
- containers…our most creative idea was to find 6 old shoes, line them for planting and, voila! (or plastic containers could work too)
- common plant fertilizer. (if you’ve got any extra “Miracle-Gro”, for example.
