![]() He was funny, charming, but flawed and down to earth which made me love him more. He was, by far my favourite character of the series (aside from Percy, of course, but I think that's a given). Riordan did pretty good on this part of the story and I'm definitely looking forward to how their relationship will blossom in the next books. I am so torn about them! On one hand, I find Hazel and Leo absolutely adorable together (although the Sammy thing DID kinda freak with my mind), but then I'd feel so sorry for Frank if this happens! UGGGG. But I suppose in their defense, they DID have to fight off monsters and enemies 82% of the time.įrank, Hazel and Leo, though. I felt like there were opportunities for them to have gotten to know each other more, like Piper and Hazel, or Leo and Percy, or Frank and Jason. Like some nice siblingy relationships or some tension, like with Percy and Jason for example. I have to say though, I expected more relationships built during the course of 500 + pages. Am I the only one?) But everyone else, Percy, Annabeth, Hazel, Frank and Leo, I absolutely loved. Something about that guy says traitor to me. Okay, so I know that I said that I disliked Jason and Piper before, but they're growing on me.(At least Piper is. His characters are still what I love about his books the most. AND of course, the Percabeth reunion (whooooooooooooooooooooo)!!!!!! This was the book that all the seven demigods were finally going to meet each other for the first time, and start their quest. I won't lie, this book was the book that I was the most excited about in this series. WHAT KIND OF AN ENDING WAS THAT, HUH? WHERE WAS THE HAPPY ENDING? Oh my God. Narrated by four different demigods, The Mark of Athena is an unforgettable journey across land and sea to Rome, where important discoveries, surprising sacrifices, and unspeakable horrors await. What if he's now attached to Roman ways? Does he still need his old friends? As the daughter of the goddess of war and wisdom, Annabeth knows she was born to be a leader-but never again does she want to be without Seaweed Brain by her side What more does Athena want from her?Īnnabeth's biggest fear, though, is that Percy might have changed. Annabeth already feels weighed down by the prophecy that will send seven demigods on a quest to find-and close-the Doors of Death. ![]() In her pocket, Annabeth carries a gift from her mother that came with an unnerving command: Follow the Mark of Athena. Annabeth hopes that the sight of their praetor Jason on deck will reassure the Romans that the visitors from Camp Half-Blood are coming in peace.Īnd that's only one of her worries. With its steaming bronze dragon figurehead, Leo's fantastical creation doesn't appear friendly. As Annabeth and her friends Jason, Piper, and Leo fly in on the Argo II, she can't blame the Roman demigods for thinking the ship is a Greek weapon. Just when she's about to be reunited with Percy-after six months of being apart, thanks to Hera-it looks like Camp Jupiter is preparing for war. Stay tuned, writing a book with Diana Herrington on Teaching Math with Google Apps.Annabeth is terrified. Our approach to teaching math has to be different. We do NOT have enough time to add another brick, so we have to let things go. We need to move away from rote memorization of algorithms to deeper understanding. Survey came out that 85% of adults can not calculate the price of carpet given the price per square foot and the dimensions of the room. Truth: most adults can not apply the math we taught them in school. Showing steps is NOT critical thinking, it is procedural. Pretty much all the math problems in the textbook are a) who cares about that and b) DOK level 1. USE DESMOS! Have students work with spreadsheets. ![]() Have students USE tools that show the steps and then compare and contrast the solutions. They are supposed to use it in a real context, to critique the reasoning of others, to choose tools strategically (they should realize they need a spreadsheet). Look at the 8 mathematical principles () not one says “show your steps.” The mathematical principles are what students DO with the math standards. Technology has replaced “show your work.” Instead, we move to “Show your thinking.” Have students do rote drill on websites such as /web but this is not the emphasis on the class. ![]() Not only spits out the answer, but the steps. Literally go type math problems into Google. ![]()
