Stein - Math 8 Plus - Tuesday, April 26, 2016

Classwork

Today students worked on Investigation 2.3, A and B on page 26. Students had to draw as many lines as they could within a five by five dot grid. Students had to find the length of the line by constructing a square from the drawn line. Students used the slope to construct the squares and counted within the drawn square to find the area. 2.3A Notes are available at http://norupstein.weebly.com/math-8-plus-homework-and-answers
