Welcome to Math. Tonight you have an assignment. You have to use a digital camera or a cellphone to take a picture of the number I have given you in class.

The steps are

1. Take a picture of the given number.
2. Email it to the address in class.
3. Make a note to yourself about how you found the number.
4. Be creative.
   
5. Respect other peoples property and privacy.

Please leave a comment behind. In the comment tell me what you think about the videos and what math you see in each one. Remember this is a math class. Don't just say that "the video is funny!"

This is our new home

On the old SP8 Math Zone I just posted the following.....

With much regret and yet excitement the Sargent Park Math Zone has moved to a new site. The reasons for leaving are that Blogger in Beta is a much better service. Please continue to use this site to see what happened over my first year of blogging.

Former students I encourage you to continue to use you classroom blogs as a way to communicate with each other and the math blogging community.

I enjoyed it and am looking forward to seeing what will happen this year. Below you will find links to the new Math Class blogs for Sargent Park School. To the seven wonderful people who have subscribe to this blog. Come on over to the new site and continue the journey. Comments are always welcome and appreciated.

Students will also post to their classroom wiki to create A Grade 8 Math Guidebook. This is a new and exciting opportunity to create a manual of everything that they have learned. The students will include problems and solutions, their scribeposts and growing posts.

The Scribe Post Hall of Fame will be a place to showcase the best class scribes.

The Growing Post Hall of Fame will house the best Growing Posts that the students create.

I hope you take time to visit our new blogs.
