And that's a wrap! (Well, almost as I'm sending this while the kids are at lunch.) We've successfully navigated our way through the year and the kids have now all officially passed pre-algebra. With the year winding down, the math this week obviously wasn't too intense (just some general review worksheets and math puzzles) and as previously mentioned, we finished up Hidden Figures and also watched October Sky to see how some folks have used math in the real world in some big ways. We also saw how math can be used in some smaller ways through a classic cartoon, Donald in Mathmagic Land, along with The Story of 1, a BBC documentary on the development of numbers and math through history.
It's been a pleasure being their teacher and guide through the math world this year and I wish them all the best as they move ahead. If you're so inclined, I recommend bookmarking my class website for future use as some of the resources will still be helpful in their future math work. If you have any little ones, I'll continue to update my site with elementary school math resources as I move onto my new position in Chesterfield County as a Title I math teacher.
I wish everyone an amazing summer and all the best next year and beyond!
