    -Tazzin

  19. just watched primes and patterns. very interesting I never knew that there where so many games about numbers. in the video she spoke way to fast to understand be you could get little parts of it and the pictures where really interseting. I realy enjoyed it thanks for puting it on the flipped classroom

  20. I looked at the prime numbers video and I thought that it was interesting in the patternes the prime numbers make when writing a square of numbers from 1 to 50. I found a little bit of it hard to understand but I enjoyed the rest of it.

  21. The patterns and primes video took me a while to understand. She talks really fast! good thing i talk fast so I understood. It helped stretch my knowledge. The 24 hour time game was fun and not what I expected.
