We are trying a new way of doing our graphing unit.  Students will be setting personal goals for their "grades."  Graphing Assignment  I have been using this graphing unit as a means for students to collect data and reinforce measurement skills.  For example, the data table that they drew for their scales/intervals table was 6 1/2 inches by 8 1/2 inches with 1/2 intervals to collect their data as they weigh miscellaneous objects on a triple beam balance.  Again, a huge thanks out to our parent volunteers!

Tuesday -
