1. Bring a cereal type box to class ASAP for a measurement/Media Literacy activity. Only eight students have brought one in so far.
2. Surface area quiz TOMORROW. Students should use the in-class activities on surface area of rectangular prisms and a wrapping paper challenge that was also done in class to study. These were corrected in class and feedback was provided. Expectations were made very clearly. The Math Journal and MMS homework are other resources to use for study.
