Week #5 Math Project

 Math Cartoon Project:
Please use one of the following sites to create a math cartoon or animation.  After you create your cartoon either email it to me:  tmwhite@hamiltonschools.us be sure to include your name & hour in the subject AND on the cartoon!

AND take a "screenshot" of your cartoon by using  APPLECommand +SHIFT+4.  This will save a "picture" of your cartoon to the desktop.

Then bring your computer to me so I can drag the screenshot to my flashdrive!

Your project MUST describe problem involving ADDING or SUBTRACTING integers                      (see 1.5 & 1.6 in your Pre-Algebra Testbook or Note Taking Guide.
