Here are some resources for Essential Skills #14.

The most important thing to remember is the formula:

                   

Here is a worked out example for you:

Here is  a great interactive site that should help you.

And, lastly, here is a video for you to watch about finding the volume.

I hope this helps you earn your 100 at the end of the week!

Thanks, Mrs. Roberti

TED Talk Tuesday #7 2015-2016

Hi Everyone,

Have you ever heard of Google Glass?  It sounds like something out of a science fiction book, but it is becoming our reality!  Check out this video about it.

Here is a fun talk for us this week about a magician who uses Google glass!

The suits, numbers and colors in a deck of cards correspond to the seasons, moon cycles and calendar. Marco Tempest straps on augmented reality goggles and does a card trick like you’ve never seen before, weaving a lyrical tale as he deals. (This version fixes a glitch in the original performance, but is otherwise exactly as seen live by the TEDGlobal audience, including the dazzling augmented reality effects.)

Hope you enjoy :-)

Take care, 

Mrs. Roberti

TED Talk Tuesday #6 2015-2016

Hi Everyone,

Get your tissues ready for this one!  Some talks are funny.  Some talks are educational.  Some talks are jaw-dropping.  Well, this talk is a combination of all those things and so much more. 

When she was 19, Amy Purdy lost both her legs below the knee. And now ... she's a pro snowboarder (and a killer competitor on "Dancing with the Stars"!). In this powerful talk, she shows us how to draw inspiration from life's obstacles.

Here is the link to Amy's talk about living life without limits.

Oh, in case you missed it, here is a video of one of Amy's best dances on Dancing with the Stars.

I hope you enjoy it.

Take care,
Mrs. Roberti

TED Talk Tuesday #5 2015-2016

Hi Everyone,

I thought this TED Talk was fitting for the start of the new year!

Is there something you've always meant to do, wanted to do, but just ... haven't? Matt Cutts suggests: Try it for 30 days. This short, lighthearted talk offers a neat way to think about setting and achieving goals.

Here is the link.

I hope it inspires you :-)

Take care,
Mrs. Roberti
