Tuesday by Nathan and Deven

In Betsy’s math class we worked with palindromes because today’s date is a palindrome (11-22-11). We took a number then wrote it backwards and added them together to see if the answer was a palindrome. We had to keep doing that until the answer was a palindrome. Kim’s math class worked on subtraction. After we shared our complex machines that we made for homework we wrote in our writing journals. This afternoon we made paper tubes and changed the variables – height, diameter, and thickness – to find the best tube that would hold books without crumbling.
