the past two months of school seem to have just sped by. already we're nearing halloween and my class is still on the first chapter of the math book. (but then again, so are the other sixth graders at our school!)


despite this, we had an almost 45 minute debate over just one word problem this afternoon. a few of them had the answer but they were unable to show their proof. i challenged them to come up with the algebraic expression and even got them started on it but to no avail. regardless, it was the mathematical discussion that gives me hope for this group.
