In Class: For the first half of the class we peer edited our writing assignments. Mrs. Prior stressed the idea that communicating our thinking and ideas is the most important, not necessarily if you arrive at the correct answer. She gave us a hard copy of the rubric on colored paper. The second of the class we went over problem #5 on page 426. We discussed how to find volume of an irregular shape if you are given the area of the base or height. With problem 5 part d, the volume and area of the base were given, so we were able to find the base.
HW: The writing assignment is due on Friday and MUST be typed. We were also given a packet and Mrs.Prior told us to start it and we will have time to work on it tomorrow in class. You should be able to do the kidney bean pool problem.
