7th Grade Math: Today in math students began class with the Problem of the Day. Next, students jumped back into isometrics and perspective.  Students reviewed oblique and isometric perspectives and discussed the differences between each view, before they participated in an activity designed to help them see those differences at work.  Students were handed some Linking Cubes and asked to build several shapes and then to draw those shapes on isometric dot paper.  

Assignments:  None.   

8th Grade Math: Today in math students began class with their flashmasters.  Next, students reviewed converting fractions to decimals and vise versa, before we practiced comparing fractions by finding the LCD as well as converting said fractions into decimals in order to compare which was larger.
