Nets & class presentations!
Today in Math157 we discussed spatial visualization; nets to be specific.
We were given a packet and some graph paper along with some scissors.With the graph paper, we cut out some nets similar to the picture below. We used to nets as a visual to show us how a cube looked when it was unfolded.
We were then given many other ways that a cube could be unfolded and we were asked to label each square with the missing digits so that when it was cut out and folded into a cube, the sums of the opposite faces would be seven. This was an excellent activity in my opinion because it gave us the opportunity to be hands on. Some of us, are not all the great as visualizing things like that.
After that was over, we had classroom presentations! I always love these because everyone in my class is so creative! :) A few of the girls did Halloween themed games for the kids since today is Halloween. I loved it! Also, they help majorly on the test...which is Monday! Yikes! Well, I'd better be going!
Happy Halloween All,

Codi thanks for adding this exercise in the blog, since it was one of my most favorite activities I did on this chapter. Some nets were more difficult than others but the feeling of doing this activity made me think on my future students and to be reminded to always include hands-on activities :D I also enjoy all the presentation we say on Oct 31 specially how creative people be to connect a math concept with a theme or party ... LOVE IT !!!
