Todays Class was an interesting class. First, it was Day One which means that it is long blocks. We came into class and Mr. Max said that we weren't going to have a mental math, instead we had to take wooden blocks and we played the "Tower Game". The tower game is a game where there are three rows and you have to move the tower of wooded blocks to make the same tower in another place. But you can't have a bigger block on top of a smaller block. For example:
1 block = 1 move
2 blocks = 3 moves
3 blocks = 7 moves
4 blocks = 15 moves
5 blocks = 31 moves

We tried to figure out how many moves there would be for the amount of blocks we had, for the majority of the class. Then we got on a topic of billionaires. We had a discussion about are veiws of billionaires and if they are selfish or not. Then for the remainding of the class we had to research "The Bill And Melinda Gates Foundation". There was no homewrok assignment.
