Final part of the Mid-Year checkup and how many pennies
Math Challenge "How many pennies?"
How many pennies? from John Flaten on Vimeo.
Note: This is a challenge I did before, so I will not be accepting answers as I did last time, rather watch and then make a guess, then watch the next video called penny challenge total to see how close you were. Enjoy!

Do your best and give a full effort so we can fully gauge your progress thus far.
When you have completed the problems for today use your chomebook to work the remainder of the period on

Level Ups and Reteaching
Today we are doing some level up items to improve upon our scores, the goal is to try to eliminate 1's and improve any scores that aren't 3's.
Here's the order of events:
1. Level up sheets, these are important and I'd like to see you prove your skill gains. Your teacher(s) can and will provide extra instruction as requested by you.
2. If you complete your level up sheet(s) proceed to the ticket problem.
Here's the link, make sure you make a copy and then when you are done share it with me, so I give you credit.
Ticket Problem
3. If you finish, please work on something educational so you are smarter than when you came in the door. Enjoy!

Unit Rates
Which is a better buy or deal? I've noticed that at the grocery store we find some different types of people, here are some we talked about today.
1. The get in and get out person, they know exactly what they want and go as fast as possible, even if they don't get a great deal.
2. The wanderer, this person is always surprised to see what they have at the store and grab anything they feel like, this person is hugely impacted by the cool looking stuff.
3. The smart shopper, this person looks for the best deal and compares the unit prices, you can usually spot this person as they look at items for a long time and then make the decision.

Good stuff, stay warm this weekend!
