When Math Happens 
Hi Dan,
Love your website thanks!!! The other day I found some helpful sheets “Making Connections; Taco Cart” and “Pythagorean Theorem.” Looks like some things have been cut from the curriculum….anyway to retrieve the edited items?
Thanks,
Rebecca
Thank you for the kind words, Rebecca! I have been making some changes. Here is the link to the Connection Handout, and here is the link to the Pythagorean Theorem handout.
Dane,
You are the best…thanks!
