Digital Video Stations are a big hit!
The 8th graders had a great time last week going to stations practicing finding slope in various ways and creating graphs from linear equations. They got to utilize technology and work for points. The student with the most points per period won a prize.
It's funny how a little friendly competition makes the kids work harder.Everyone got a little better at slope from the stations. So really, we were all winners!

Slope joke
More slope to come
We will continue to work on slope/rate of change and scatter plots from now until Thanksgiving break. After we get back from Thanksgiving, we will review for the next 9 weeks benchmark test which will also be our first semester final. Time is really flying by.
