7th Grade Math: Today in math students began class with the Problem of the Day. Next, students began a review process of some basic geometry concepts.  We reviewed the correct notation for displaying lines, rays, segments, as well as angles and the measure of angles.  Students then participated in an investigation activity, before students were assigned some homework from their at home text books in order to complete the activity, on page 287, #1-4 for class on Wednesday.
