Chocolate Problem, Green Crab PSA

It has been a hectic week of teaching and learning in Room 204, and the students have been doing a ton of work in class. Chxallenging problems involving proportional reasoning, adding fractions, playing strategic fraction equivalence games, and creating PSA's for invasive species in science.

Tonight, the homework is to finish the Chocolate Problem. Ask your kids to expain it to you! they worked on this in groups, pausing regularly to share strategies. While some students figured out how much chocolate each kid in the problem would receive, few figured out where each kid would sit, and THAT is their homework. Each math student knows the set-up to the problem, and every student should have their work from today to help them finish. If they don't have their work, they can very easily set up the problem themselves and organize their solution.

Their Invasive Green Crab PSA is due tomorrow at the end of the day (I'm giving them one more day since I had to be out for part of Intervention Seminar and could not check in with students, but they know that it was technically due at the end of today.

Looking forward to seeing folks at conferences tomorrow and Monday!
