The 1st semester is coming to an end and second semester is about to begin. I am currently working on putting together the 8th grade geometry quilt. Right now in 8th grade we are beginning to learn the Pythagorean theorem and in 6th grade we are learning all about angles and shapes! Spring will be busy for us in math class!

Poster
The poster must include the 3 criteria for a proportional situation.
You can represent the criteria in any way.
If you use numbers, you can use any numbers.
You can make the poster, using any format (electronic, by hand).
