Math Dates 9/19-9/23/16

This week's math dates are pictured here!

I included several fractions with exponents in both the numerator and denominator this week. If your students aren't familiar with exponent rules, they might make some observations and discover a rule for themselves by the end of the week:-)

If you have trouble reading the dates here on the blog, you can also find them on my Instagram and Facebook accounts.

Have a great week!

This made it a little difficult for me to relate to the students' situations, but I tried to help them think about how much time they did have to do their work. Being involved in activities definitely reduces time for schoolwork, but it doesn't mean t...
