Dec 9 - Tues	2nd Professional Development Activity due at 5pm
Dec 2 - Tues	Test 4 (1 8.5 x 11 sheet with writing on both sides allowed)
Nov 25 - Tues	Part 2 of the final project due. Read Sibley p. 124 - 125.
Nov 20 - Thur	Sketchpad Test study suggestions Part 1 of final project due.
Nov 18 - Tues	Self-Evaluation of presentations due. Look at Project 6 solutions and compare with your problem set. Begin studying for the Sketchpad test and working on the final project.
Nov 11 - Tues	Geometry of our Earth presentations. Buy a light colored ball which is approximately 6 inches to a foot in diameter that you won't mind writing on with permanent marker during class. Be sure that this ball is round and is not an inflatable ball since these don't work well. In addition, if you have masking tape, then bring that to class.
Nov 7 - Fri	First Professional Development activity due at 5pm (see the syllabus for details).
Nov 6 - Thur	Read Perry p. 247-248 and p. 255, and Sibley p. 97-99
Nov 4 - Tues	Project 6 DUE at the beginning of class Prepare to turn in and/or present work that follows the Project Guidelines, the Sample Proofs and the Proof Checklist.
Oct 28 - Tues	Skim through Geometry of our Earth and work on Project 6 and the first professional development report.
Oct 21 - Tues	Test 2 study suggestions
Oct 14 - Tues	Project 5 due at 5pm Prepare to turn in and/or present work that follows the Project Guidelines, the Sample Proofs and the Proof Checklist.
Oct 7 - Tues	Come up with models for Mathematics Methods and Modeling for Today's Mathematics Classroom p. 216 number 4 (Loggers) so that they resemble: # board feet/10 = k diameter^(power) ie, you want to obtain the number in the power for each model. Use the assumptions and show work to obtain your models. Revisions on Wile E assignment due by 5pm for an extra +10 points. Be sure that you address what happens if Wile never sees the roadrunner.
Oct 2 - Thur	Read Sibley p. 35-38. Read Mathematics Methods and Modeling for Today's Mathematics Classroom p. 200-204, 209-213
Sep 30 - Tues	Project 4: Reasoning and Proof Standards Assignment DUE at 5pm.
Sep 25 - Thur	Examine The Proof website contents -especially the Pythagorean Puzzle and the Teacher's Guide (see the links on the right from that guide). Take notes on different ways to incorporate The Proof into the classroom and be prepared to share your thoughts on these ideas and activities with the rest of the class.
