September Student Challenge: Function Machine

Function Machine

Each month the students will have the opportunity to complete a “Student Challenge!” I will propose a challenge for the students to complete that focuses on a concept or topic we are learning in class. They will have at least one week (and sometimes several weeks) to submit their answers, research, or projects to me. If they accurately complete the challenge, their names will be added to our Student Challenge bulletin board. For each challenge that they complete, a star will be added next to their names! The Student Challenges are completely optional, but highly encouraged. It provides students with the opportunity to use their creativity and presentation skills. Those students who complete the monthly Student Challenges will have the opportunity to share their work with their classmates and it will be featured on our blog. 

This month's challenge: Create your very own function machine! Show your family and friends how it works, and then bring it to school to show your classmates! Please turn your function machine in by Tuesday, September 30th. 

The above video is a sample of the function machine that I made and showed the class today.
