Conjectures

First, class began with a new vocabulary word: conjectures. Students were given a process for math vocabulary words using word origin (which will be covered more in depth in SSEnglish classes). After the individual parts to the word was given, students brainstormed possible definitions. Then I shared a math definition and synonym. This process has a page dedicated in students' MTN's and will be followed throughout the year.

Then students were given the following handout with additional information:

Tonight, students will calculate their own hailstone sequence and check out additional information on the provided links about Hailstone Sequences.

HERE ARE THE 3 LINKS FROM WHICH TO CHOOSE:
1.  Wolfram
2.  NASA Hailstorm
3. Wikipedia


HOMEWORK: 

• 1. Begin with a number between 50 and 100. Following the Hailstone Sequence String rules, complete the calculations till you arrive to 1 (one).
• 2. Go to my Blog and check out any one of the three links. Write two things you learned.
