Christmas Star Surprise
We started by learning about Rene DesCartes, his early life and contributions, and the method of graphing he invented!
Then I dictated a series of points for my students to write and graphed, (out of order, of course!) and they connected the dots to make a shape. They were so excited that they had drawn trees!
Little did they know what we actually had planned….
We traced the shape onto a stack of brown paper bags that had been glued together.
And created Christmas Stars!
