Friday 9-16-2005 Math 2 Bring your ruler! Bring your graph paper!
1. HOMEWORK: What is the perimeter and area of a 5' x 7" rectangle?
2. Study the Central tendencies of the class age (in Months)

OBJECTIVE: See 9-12 above. ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Review ACE problems from yesterday. Study the Central tendencies of the class age (in Months), e.g., calcualte and collect data, determine the central tendencies (mean, median, mode. NOTES: HOMEWORK: Compare and/or contrast the data from problem 1.1 with the class age data.


9-19-2005 Math 2 Bring your calculator! Bring your ruler! Bring your graph paper!
1. HOMEWORK: Compare and/or contrast problem 1.1 with the class age data.
2. Math Facts Drill

OBJECTIVE: •To collect data from an experiment and then make a table and a graph to organize and represent the data •To search for explanations for patterns and variations in data •To understand that a variable is a quantity that changes and to recognize variables in the real world •To understand that in order to make a graph that shows the relationship between two variables, you need to identify the two variables, choose an axis for each, and select an appropriate scale for each axis •To interpret information given in a graph [1.5.2; 1.5.4; 3.2.2; 4.2.1] (Check the Essential Learnings and Grade Level Equivalent numbers here.)   ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Continue working with Central Tendency. Review/establish notes on MEAN, MEDIAN, and MODE. NOTES: HOMEWORK: Find Central Tendencies for 3 12 19 18 14 3 7 9 19

3. Page 19 Problem 2.1

OBJECTIVE: •To make sense of data given in the form of a table or a graph •To read a narrative of a situation that changes over time and make a table and graph that represent these changes •To read data given in a table and make a graph from the table •To read data given in a graph and make a table from the graph •To compare tables, graphs, and narratives and understand the advantages and disadvantages of each form of representation [1.4.5 Construct bar graphs, circle graphs, line graphs, box-and-whisker and scatter plots using collected data. [1.5.1, 1.5.2, 1.5.4, 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.2.3, 1.4.5] (Check the Essential Learnings and Grade Level Equivalent numbers here.)   ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Page 19 Problem 2.1.
