9. The start of school is an exciting time for students, parents, teachers, and all members of the school community. Before we get started, let me express how thrilled I am to have you in my class for 6th grade.
This is a learning environment, so we will question, think, and discover. If you don’t understand something, ASK! If you are still having difficulty, don’t be shy to ask again! Everyone is expected to be on time and prepared.

10. A little about me…
I have been a math teacher here at RCMS; this is my 10th year.
I have taught 3 years of 7th and 8th grade math, 3 years of 7th grade math and this is my 4th year teaching 6th grade math
My undergrad is from Stonehill College
I hold a Masters of Science in Mathematics Education
I have a 25 month old son, Garrett

11. And a little about me… This is my 20th year teaching in Randolph.
I taught for 13 yrs at the Lyons Elementary School and this is my 7th year teaching grade 6 at RCMS.
I was born and raised in Randolph and am a proud graduate of RHS!
I have a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree from UMass Boston and a CAGS in Mathematics from Lesley University.
Outside of school, I have a husband and two little girls. Carly is 9 and just started 4th grade, and Celia is 7 and is in grade 2.

12. Contact Info
I check my several times a day and will respond as soon as possible upon receipt of a question, concern, or comment.
My phone number at the school is , extension 110 (or x106 for Ms. Smith). I prefer to take calls when class is not in session, so the best times are before 7:40 or after 2:45.

14. 3 ACTS

15. ACT 2a What information would you like to know?
How strong is a single strand of hair?  Since we need to determine the tinsel strength of your hair, how many pennies would a single strand of your hair support until it breaks?
Write down your estimate
Write down an estimate you know is too high? Too low?

16. ACT 2a continued
The test: Take a single strand of hair and securely tape one end to a pencil.  Wedge the pencil into the stack of books so that the pencil is sticking out and the hair is hanging down. Securely tape one penny onto the strand of hair and see if the hair can hold it. Keep taping pennies to the strand of hair until it breaks.

17. ACT 2b
Now that you know how many pennies your hair will support what do you need to know to find out how many pieces of hair you need to support your body weight?
a penny weighs 2.5 grams OR 0.08 ounces
in case you forgot…16 ounces in a pound AND approximately 456 grams in a pound

18. ACT 3
Compare and share solution strategies.  How appropriate was your estimate?

19. ACT 4a
Can you find the rule that would determine how many hairs would be needed for a person of any weight?
Can you write it as an expression?
