How Do I Bisect Angles?

I hope that you all have found bisecting angles an interesting concept. I hope that you can use this to help you study and remember the steps of bisecting angles when you are asked to use a compass.

One hundred years ago today, April 10, 1912, the pride of the White Star Line, The Titanic, set sail from Southampton, England to New York City. Along that voyage, the 'unsinkable' ship hit an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean. This led to the great ship sinking off the coast of Halifax, Nova Scotia on April 15, 1912.

What does your ideal school look like?

If you could design your own school what would it look like or sound like? How would students learn? How would teachers teach? What would be going on if I walked into a school you have created.

Here is a video where Sir Ken Robinson, a forward thinker in education shares his thoughts of an ideal school! What are yours?

Shrove Tuesday?!?

I am aware of many occasions' origins that we recognize throughout the year. However, there are still some that I do not understand why they exist. One, for example is today, Pancake Tuesday, Fat Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday, Mardi Gras... It seems like just a regular Tuesday.

What is the significance behind this day? Where did it come from? Why do we eat pancakes today? Post what you can find out in a well written, organized paragraph!
