Finish up any owed work. The recent assignments were the paragraph about your “activites preferees” and the responses to each other’s letters. Those assignments must be in by Thursday in order for you to get any credit.
I will have your tests for you as soon as possible.
Please look at the link that I set up last week. Enjoy!

There will not be any homework during the break! Watch a French movie, eat some croissants, and have a great rest.
Be ready for some hard work when we get back in the New Year!!!
Bonnes Vacances.

Investigate Pick’s Theorem

For Bounadary Points equal to 3, 4, and 5, complete tables comparing the number of interior points (Ni) to the area (A).  You can use this applet to help you - it doesn’t work well in Firefox , though.

Then write a formula that describes how those formulas change as the number of boundary-points increases.  For example, that formula should allow you to write an equation for a boundary of eleven points without having to actually test it out in the geoboard.

This is due next Friday along with your other work from the first half of the year.  This includes these assignments:

- People in a boat (1) - initial observations

- People in a boat (2) - solutions, rules and formulas

-  2D Tile Patterns (square pattern and s-pattern)

- 3D Tile Patterns (Cube, rectangular prism and pyramid)

- Grasshopper Games

- Tower of Hanoi

- Pick’s Theorem

I will return your Tower of Hanoi problems on Monday.

We will take the exam Tuesday in class.

Use this applet to find a relationship between the number of discs (n) and the total moves (m). Your formula should NOT depend on the previous answer - you should be able to “jump” to any number of discs.

Homework due Tuesday, Final draft of your Colonial Research Science paper. Pass in your draft also.

Make sure all pillbug lab reports are in by Tuesday also.

Here is an interesting article about a new fuel source. Tell me what you think.

The class has concluded their investigations into pillbug behavior and are now in the process of putting together a report on the project. Most of the work has been completed already and we are in the process of editing and compiling the information into a scientific abstract. Due dates to follow.
Homework due Tuesday is to make sure your folder is up to date with all the papers we went over in class. Also, your conclusion should be written up. This may be in the form of a paragraph or a list, we will compare data in class.
