Finished Activity 1-6

Today in class we had to go to plan B.  I had the greatest intentions of having students use the laptop computers to access a website that has an amazing interactive calculator for converting metric and English units.  Unfortunately, our school's web securtiy has not initially identified this website as secure yet, so we had to improvise.  Instead, students did their work on page 1-6 the old fashion way- at their desks with a pencil, paper and calculator.  When students completed the 10 problems, there were asked to go on my moodle site and work through the tutorials on converting metric and English units.  We used the student responders to go over the problems at the end of class, and I think now that after three days of hard work, most students have a great understanding of how to convert back and forth between metric and English units.
There was no homework assigned and the chapter 1 test will be Wednesday, September 30th.

Hope to see everyone at the band exhibition tonight.
