OBJECTIVE: Construct line plots (and double line plots) ACTIVITIES: Students will construct line plots from the class data. Students will also sort data and construct double line plots based on gender. The following will be required with appropriate labels and lines drawn with rulers: height, weight, age, shoe size, allowance, number of brothers, number of sisters and furry pets. Double line plots will be height, weight, shoe size, number of brothers and number of sisters. NOTES: HOMEWORK: Work on line plots

OBJECTIVE: Students will construct line plots. ACTIVITIES: This is essentially a work session (independent) for students to work on the assinged line plots listed on 11-8. NOTES: Must use rulers to draw lines and measure intervals. Neatness counts. HOMEWORK: End of the FIRST Quarter
Problem of the week (check the scoring guide) The problem of the week is due on Friday. Students are to use diagrams, charts, and tables as needed. Explain the process used to solve the problem. Be neat. Last Week's solution...
Down Hill All The Way - ExtraCredit for 11-15-99
On a recent drive I happened to notice a sign indicating that for the next 4 miles the road would be descending at a 6% grade. After 4 miles I noticed a second sign which indicated that the next 5 miles we would be descending at a 4% grade.
If we had been at 10,000 feet above sea level when I noticed the first sign, how many feet above sea level will the car be when it reaches the end of the 5 miles indicated by the second sign?
Bonus: If the same total decent was accomplished in 8 miles, what percent grade would the sign need to indicate?
Note: A 6% grade means that the road descends 6 feet for every 100 feet traveled. A 4% grade means that the road descends 4 feet for every 100 feet traveled.
