1. HOMEWORK Due today: Handout-Tag Sale E
2. Collect Body Box and Whisker Plots
3. Finish Planet Data sets

OBJECTIVE: 1.1.4 Understand the concept of direct proportion. 1.2.5 Use formulas to determine measurements related to circles, triangles, and rectangular prisms.4.1.2 Extract numerical, measurement, geometric, probability, statistical, and/or algebraic information from multiple sources. ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Students need to finish and submit 3 assignments: 1) BOX AND WHISKER PLOTS FOR BODY DATA; 2) PLANET SCALE SIZE; 3) PLANET SCALE DISTANCE. Divide students into performance teams to construct the outcomes of these 5 exercises. •box and whisker plots for ht, wt, surface area and Volume (3 feet long); •average height, average surface area (actual size)(colored paper); •average volume (actual size)(cardboard); •Planet Models (partial sun) to scale; •Solar system distance (to scale)Object markers at a distance.

NOTES: HOMEWORK: Handout-Place it Right A

•Team 1 - Box and Whisker Plots for height, weight, body surface area and body volume

•Team 2 - Median height and Median surface area models
  • Models (2 dimensional) must be full size
  • Area model must have square corners and list the exact dimensions
  • Both models must include a definition of median
  • All text must be on straight lines and of uniform height.
  • Include the class data list

•Team 3 - Median Body Volume

  • Model must be three dimensional and constructed of cardboard to be free standing
  • All corners must be reasonably square
  • Cover all printing/advertising with plain paper
  • Dimensions must be listed on the model
  • Include the class data list
  • All text must be on straight lines and of uniform height.

•Team 4 - Planet Models

  • All planet models (2 dimensional must be to scale) the scale is that Pluto will be 1/4' or 0.6cm
  • Models must be circular and NOT mounted on a poster (except Pluto)
  • Name tags must accompany model
  • Include poster with the name of the solar body, its diameter and its calculated scale size
  • Mr. LeMieux will assist with the sun model
  • All text must be on straight lines and of uniform height.

•Team 5 - Solar system distances

  • Make tags with neatly lettered planet names and distance from the sum (actual)
  • Make 1/2 inch paper strips for distance
  • Mount on wall, measure and label
  • Include poster with the name of the planet and its distance from the sun.
  • All text must be on straight lines and of uniform height.
