Good afternoon class! I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend. Today we will be learning in an interactive way about fractions. Since I am out sick today, I will show you a video of what you will do today. First go to this link to find where we will be working.

Now, click here for the video of how to do the math and where to find it. Good luck

For todays class, I will split you up in pairs. You will then have to work on a worksheet for the remainder of the class. The worksheet involves basic algebra concepts. Good luck.

Gaurav Rajav, a 15-year old Virginia high school student, recited 8,784 digits of Pi — the non-repeating and non-terminating decimal — likely placing him among the top Pi-reciters in the world.

He had hoped to recite 10,790 digits and set a record in the United States and North America. He says, "I'm kind of disappointed, but I guess I did OK."

Good afternoon class. Everyday we will have a math fact to start off and then start with our assignment. For today's assignment, each of you will have to memorize at least 15 digits of Pi. Imagine how hard it was for Gaurav Rajav to memorize 8,784 digits.
