I look forward to a fun and exciting year with this year's Purple Team. I am anxious to post the latest news about our team on this page.
Check often to see What's New!
We will be having several guests visit our classroom throughout the year.
Do you know anyone who could visit our classroom and tell us about his/her job and how they use math??? Let me know!!
"News from Last Year":
In math, students have created their "Farewell Quilt" by transforming a shape and then making tessellations. Each student has created a piece which will be a piece of the quilt. These quilts will then become the "Welcome Quilt" for next year's 7th grade class. See an example of an M.C. Escher tessellation to the right.
The Purple Team celebrated Pi Day with doing a circle discovery activity to find out where Pi comes from, making a Pi clip and memorizing the digits of Pi. The winners from each class are:
Block A: Jessa M. - 21 digits
Block C: Olivia B. - 19 digits
Block G: Lauren N. - 57 digits
Block H: Steven F. - 61 digits
Block I: Dan R. - 82 digits
Being the top winner on the team, Dan has the honor of giving Mr. Schaffnit a pie in the face!! And this will happen on April Fool's day!!!!!!!
