• Prime numbers
• Introduced algebra: solve for x, solve for y
• Century=100 years
• Began measurement unit
• Standard vs. Non standard units of measurements
• We went outside and measured lines using our feet. Everyone had a different answer. We see the need for a standard measurement unit. 
• Inches, Feet, Yards
• Each student got their own "Measurement book" We will be working on this the next several class periods. Today we completed page 1 and 2. 
• Scavenger hunt around GMA looking for things that were 2,4,6,8,9, and 12 inches long. Students were in teams and had rulers. They seemed to enjoy it. 

Homework: If your student did not finish the scavenger hunt at school they need to finish it at home.
