Everyone seems to have one and my 7th grader is sure he’s the only middle schooler without one!  What is it?  A smartphone!

How can you spend your Math Minutes this week?

• Print off a copy of this worksheet and then click here to watch a video about what smartphones are made of.  Fill in the worksheet as you watch the video.  Turn your completed worksheet in to your EY Coordinator.
• Read some of the statistics about smartphones on this site.  Post a comment or question about a statistic that you found interesting.  When posting a comment, include your first name only, grade, and school (i.e. Toby, 2, Sunset).
• Read about the rare earth elements on the sites linked below.  Create a Pic Collage, a Keynote presentation, or choose another app to display the information you learned.
