2. We will count off by 8's. You will put the example matching your
group number onto dry erase boards. Since you have already
completed the packet, you will have no more than 7 minutes to do
this. When you finish putting the problem on the board, check your
other answers with your group members.
Group One: Example 1 A & B Group Five: Example 5
Group Two: Example 2 A & B Group Six: Example 6 A, B & C
Group Three: Example 3 Group Seven: Example 7
Group Four: Example 4 B Group Eight: Example 8
