Welcome to Mrs. Adams' 8th Grade Math Class!

Welcome to Middle School Math! I'm sure many of us groan at the memories of our math experiences. My goal is to help make math exciting and approachable for all students. I hope you enjoy seeing all the neat things we do in my math class.

Picture Project

Well, we're halfway through the semester and I have already slacked off on keeping up with my blog.  I am really disappointed in myself, because as I told the parents, "if I don't have anything interesting to blog about each week, then I haven't done my job."  I feel a little defeated in that I haven't done a good job of doing some exciting things each week, but I WILL improve!

Most of my students are headed to Washington D.C. tomorrow and a small group of us are headed to field trips in the DFW area.  Their assignment is to take a picture, write about the math in the picture, and create a word problem from the picture.  We discussed examples of ideas today and I am really excited to see what the students come up with because they had such great ideas today!  Hopefully I will end up with a fabulous collection of photos and problems we can use the rest of the year.

Sneak Preview of next week..Grow Beasts!
