ACE 1.1 Math Fever & Accentuate the Negative

LARGE GROUP
Today we discussed the Conference prep homework and the POW, Logic Puzzle. Students turned in their old books and received books for our new unit, Accentuate the Negative. We had an introduction to integers (whole numbers and their opposites, which sum to zero, including zero) and rational numbers (integers as well as fractions and their opposites, these numbers can be expressed as an integer divided by another integer, except zero).

Students worked on Problem 1.1, Playing Math Fever, which looks at positive and negative scores from a Jeopardy like game. Click the class name to download class notes here (7A or 7B).
