Today we have several people absent.  I need you to create a Powerpoint to help them understand the concepts that they missed in math.  Do you think you can do that?

 Open up Powerpoint and create 5 slides to explain to someone who was absent how to add large numbers.  Make sure to use examples!!  You can use your work from your PW workbook to help you come up with problems.

 Good Luck!

Well, we are about to be into 2007 and we need to spend a little money!

Here is your assignment.

You have been giving $5,000 to spend for the holiday season. Over the next three days your will be working on ways to spend that money. You will need to spend every penny of your $5,000 to get full credit. Sound fun? Keep reading!

As you spend your money you will need to keep track of where it goes using the paper that Mr. Martin gave you. You will need to write down the name of every object, along with how much it costs. You will also need to write down WHERE you are buying it from. For example, click here to see an object that you could buy.

Here is what I would write on my sheet.
Under what was the item: 1,000,000 Books for needy children.
Under how much: $25
Under Location: Universal Giving
Under Who is the gift for: Sierra Leone’s Children

Pretty simple right? Now if the far column you will need to keep a running total of how much you spend.
There is one catch for this assignment. YOU CANNOT SPEND ANY OF THE MONEY ON YOURSELF! ALL OF IT MUST BE SPEND ON SOMEONE ELSE. This can be brother, sisters, mothers, fathers, grandparents, friends, charities, teachers Anyone but yourself.

I am going to include some places to find items on the page titled Spreading Cheer. Good luck and happy shopping!

With that being said, I thought we could have a little fun.  Lets learn about that famous pizza that we know and love.  Visit the Pizza Party Page to complete this Math activity.  Good luck and happy eating!

Mr. Martin

On the Math games page, there are some games that we will be using to work on our division. Click here to check them out! Good luck!

Multiflyer – In this game you have to fly through space and answer problems to enter in the coordinates.  Once you get enough to enable your warp drive you can fly to the next location.  If you do not know the answer you can use the grid to locate the anwser.

Fun game.  My favorite!

Space Shuttle Launch – You need to answer questions to launch the shuttle to the moon.  Problem pops up, you enter in the product.

Sum Sense – This is the most challenging game.  You need to arrange the cards into the correct multiplication problems.  Fun, but very challenging.  Good Luck.

Click on the following link Math Baseball. Select subtraction, start at the easy level. Select “NO” in Algebra style. Hit “Play Ball” and get started. Once you have scored 10 runs without striking out, try a harder level. See if you can make it to the SuperBrain stage.
