OBJECTIVE: Data collection and analysis from the mini-lab. ACTIVITIES: [Distribute Progress Report #8] Students will form into groups of about 6 to compile the data from the homework mini-lab and determine the experimental value of PI. They are to each write a report on their findings which includes the procedure, the number of objects selected, the averages results, sources of error and their conclusion. This report is to be finished as homework. Students who did not do the lab will have alternate assignments. NOTES: DP18 A train is going through a tunnel that is 650 feet long. The train is traveling 100 feet per second. The train enters the tunnel on one end. Twenty-six seconds later, the last car exits the other end of the tunnel. How long is the train?

Tim epermitting, the procedure will be practiced with the rule regarding 'invert and multiply" NOTES:DP20 (Use a grid) A farmer has been growing crops very successfully. He started with two 10-acre plots(1 square= 10 acres). At the end of the first year, he earned enough money to buy the 10 acre plots on the border of his fences. This pattern continued year after year. How many years will it take for the farmer to own 500 acres of land? HOMEWORK: Fractional division explanantion

Four members of the Olympic Team were enjoying an evening meal together. The two women were Margaret and Naomi. The two men were Ralph and Saul. The four athletes were a speed skater, a down-hill skier, a snowboarder, and a figure skater. They sat at a square table. The speed skater sat on Margaret's left. Across from Ralph sat the figure skater. Naomi and Saul sat next to each other holding hands. A woman sat on the downhill skier's left.
