Pawnee and Springfield are 420 miles apart. A train leaves Pawnee heading toward Springfield
at the same time a train leaves Springfield heading toward Pawnee. One train is moving at a
speed of 45 mph, and the other is moving 60 mph. How long will they travel before they meet?

DISPLAY A WORD WALL

Word walls are a vital part of any math classroom. If students are taking a brain break and staring off into
space, they are likely staring at some math content. To have the most useful word wall, make sure words
include a short definition, picture, and can be visible from the furthest spot in the classroom.

Choose One Topic and Create an Activity that helps our students in
Developing their Metacognition.
TOPIC: CARTESIAN PLANE
ACTIVITY:
Jacob and Ethan want to make a frame using the coordinates (1,2),(3,2),(3,0),(1,0). Based on the
coordinates, Jacob says that the frame will be a square while Ethan says that the frame will be a
parallelogram. Can you identify who is right?

Solution:
We need to draw the above coordinates on a cartesian plane to check the shape they will form.
We can clearly see that the figure thus obtained is a square as all the four sides are equal and all
the four interior angles are 90°. Therefore, Jacob is right.
