Final Blog Entry

Your final blog entry is due by midnight tonight. It should be at least two paragraphs in length and it should contain the following:

1. What question or questions you have been investigating since your last blog entry


2. The data that you have collected about that question


3. Any patterns or conclusions that you have found, or an explanation of why you haven’t been able to find any


4. A suggestion for what the next question in your investigation might be (you don’t actually have to investigate it, so think big – this is the usual way to end scientific papers)

You should also make sure that you have made at least 2 substantive comments on other students’ blogs.

Make good use of your time today and you will have long homework holiday.

More About Tables

Several of you have started to create your own tables using html. Some of you have come upon the problem of big spaces before your tables. I looked up this problem and came across a good solution at Blogger Tips and Tricks. Check it out if you want to make your tables pretty.

WOW!

So, I went in to this project not really knowing what to expect. I was hoping that students would gain a better sense of triangles, better understand what math research is all about, and increase their confidence in their own math abilities.

I have to say that so far, my students have totally amazed me. They went in lots of different directions despite starting from the same few questions. And we are just now getting into the part where they investigate their own questions.

I spend a lot of time pushing students to work more, think harder, and keep going despite difficulties. So I want to take this opportunity to say publicly that I am completely impressed and amazed by what all my students have come up with so far and I am really excited to see what they do next.
