Today we started our first Problem of the Month (POM). A POM is a set of 5 problems that are related and increasing in difficulty. Students work for 15-20 minutes a day on the problems for 5 days. On the last day, we share our thinking on the problems as well as view how other students solved them using Voice Thread.
After the POM, we worked more on solving inequalities. I told students to expect a SWYK on Monday.

Today we spent a little time reviewing solving equations and talking about inequalities. We took notes over the topics and practiced some examples. Then, they got to spend the rest of the time on the desmos marble slide activity from yesterday! :)
Welcome back! I wanted to start off today with something that would engage students since I'm sure they had as hard of a time getting up this morning as I did. We did an activity on desmos called Marbleslides. The goal was to change equations in the graphing calculator to make a ball pass through given stars. This activity is fun and engaging, plus it allows students to review what we worked on before break with graphs and slope-intercept form.
