Take 17

Spontaneous Problem:  Name things that make work easier.
Boundary Breaker: What is something that you think will not exist in 20 years?  Why will it be unnecessary and what will take its place?

Today student took their conceptual black box models and built them into physical models to test. As they gathered more information from their prototypes, they drafted new versions of the model to build. They collaborated and compared models with classmates, honed their senses as observers, and demonstrated persistence on their many attempts!


In math we used Egyptian hieroglyphics to calculate sums and differences and explored difficulties stemming from a system that does not have a symbol for zero.


We finished by challenging our brains with some pentamino puzzlers!
