Hailstone Sequence Share

Students had an opportunity to show their trials with Hailstone Sequences.  All expressed the fun that was had with math!  Students were also able to share a variety of information learned from last night's links and added to their notes.

We then discovered conditions that led to fewer steps and examined whether or not negative integers work and why.

Here is a calculator link that reveals the number of steps necessary to reach "1" from any positive integer.
