May+2010

~ reviewed first 4 scenes of Kipper - back to Eric. ~ did a bit of work on comparing integers.... started to set up question 8... Cheryl had the entire code rewritten, this is not necessary, but need to create and generalize a couple of functions May 27 ~** reviewed first part of a fraction Storyboard for Crystal ~ finished question #7 for Comparing Integers Quiz - added wait time code, roll over defintion of ascending, revised feedback statements to quiz print out, ensured values were not initially presented in ascending order, other minor tweaks...Hooray! ~worked on Comparing Integers quiz, got the sorting to happen properly so that feedback includes positive signs where appropriate ~school visit to help a teacher with GIZMOs ~ got an idea from Judi about how to make my arrays behave ~began review of 3.2 Exploring Mathotel for Mel May 21 ~** working on Comparing Integers Quiz - revised the positioning of the stage items for Question7 (everything defined as pixels, not relative values so this took a while), added plus signs to the feedback and quiz output when appropriate (thanks Greg for the double array suggestion) - but broke the sorting somehow -1 is smaller than -9! Oops! conferenced with Eric re Kipper's positioning. - finished 2.2 Comparing Temperatures ( it now has a red check mark!) - gave Judi final review approval for 3.1 Elevator Ride ( another red check!) - working on Comparing integers quiz, something is preventing auto formating from working so I am trying to figure out what before I finish revising the code to ensure the correct number of pos/neg combinations, lots of semi-colons missing! but I finally have it auto formatting now.

I think I know how to fix one of the issues (correct number of negatives), will have to wait until tomorrow to test it out.... too late now. Spent 45 minutes or so at Karen's school chatting with VP.
