ACE 1.2 From Sauna to Snowbank & Paper Pool

LARGE GROUP
We talked about extremes of temperature, and how thermometers are a type of vertical number line. We worked on Problem 1.2, From Sauna to Snowbank, using number line models to answer each of the questions. For many students, using a representation like a number line was much harder than solving the problems themselves, but this is good practice for more complicated problems, as well as for graphing of all kinds. Class notes may be downloaded here for 7A or 7B.

Students who finished early worked on their Unit Projects, Paper Pool. We went over the requirements again.
