1-1: Points, Lines, and Planes stations

What a great two days of school we just had. I hope all of you are just as excited as I about the coming year together. Everyone sounded eager to try doing more group work and discovery labs. I hope that the rest of your classes went well.

Today we are going to start working on 1-1: Points, Lines, and Planes. For this lesson we are going to set up stations that you will be rotating through. This blog is going to provide you with the directions for each station, so depending on which station you are on, those are the directions you will read. Remember, you might not start on Station 1, so you might not be reading the first set of directions.
