We Survived Another Math Project

The T-man and I are usually a good team. But that is not the case when it comes to math. There was great wailing and nashing of teeth from both of us during the last math project. I even put myself in time-out for a while. This project was vastly different. It actually was pretty cool doing it together.




We had to create a problem that required solving a system of equations to find the solution. We had to include graphs and show how to solve the system several different ways. We even had to interpret the results. I know that if my 8th grade son can do this, I will have less sympathy for my college students this summer. Here is one of his graphs:


We used the Create A Graph website.

My Little Boy is Growing Up

All the paperwork was finally completed and it was time to put the tag on my new car.

The T-man did it all by himself. He even put up the screw driver when he was finished.
