Hello & Happy [early] Spring Break to our community. Committed to the road ahead! #CDSlearns

[Tom Bendon @tombendonCDS]

Getting ‘hands on’ to generate data and synthesize insights re: Pythagorean Theorem; next stop, Distance Formula on the coordinate plane! #cdslearns #tactilelearning

[Tom Bendon @tombendonCDS]

‘Solving for X’ is great, but things get way more exciting when we start #ModelingwithMath to visualize & contextualize our solutions!

Flip a coin [80] times; ‘toss out’ the heads and flip the remaining. Repeat, repeat, repeat... How many rounds to ‘toss out’ all?
Gotta get ‘hands on’ 1st day back from Spring Break covering Exponential Decay!
