Ms. V's Algebra I Honors class worked in groups to investigate real world exponential growth relationships by researching and graphing data given an assigned topic. Researched topics included Ethiopian population growth since 1960, Cell phone users since 1980, average professional baseball player's salary since 1975, total deaths of the coronavirus since Jan. 22nd 2020, and the US national debt since 1970.
Ms. V's Algebra Honors class had some fun during the last period on the last day before February vacation. Students played the hilarious game "Evolution" in hopes of rising from egg to King/Queen in 1v1 rocks, paper, scissors duels. Students also attempted to build the highest tower using only their shoes in the "The Leaning Tower of Feetsa" challenge.
