Today students are working on the last day of their "Real Life" assignment. Students are looking through shopping ads to decide on gifts that they would like to purchase for friends and family. They are to choose at least 3 gifts, calculate 7% sales tax on each gift, then figure a grand total of what they spent on gifts. They will then deduct that total from their checking account.
Also today, I collected the homework that was assigned on Tuesday. I decided that those that completed and turned in the homework would receive extra points on their quiz next week.
Monday and tuesday next week, students will have an assignment that summarizes what they have done the last 2 weeks with their project. It will likely be in the form of short answer questions about their assignment and what math concepts they used during the project. I will have more information before Monday
