Class Topics: 11.17.11

In EDM, students collaborated in small groups to complete various tasks:
  • construct a stem-and-leaf plot and determine the mean, mode, and median of the data set
  • translate word phrases into algebraic expressions and equations
  • decompose story problems to answer specific questions
  • HW: Blog Review - 11.17.11 and Retake Letter if needed

In Pre-Algebra, students collaborated in groups of three to organize data and created an appropriate box-and-whisker plot to show the data set.
  • Class Work: Construct two box-and-whisker plots to compare the following sets of data:
    • Number of Tropical Storms: 26, 17, 9, 10, 5, 10, and 7
    • Number of Hurricanes: 16, 9, 4, 5, 3, 4, and 3
  • HW: Pgs 188 - 192: 1 - 4, 11, 15, 17, 26, 28, 29 - 32, 33 - 36
  • View Video on blog and compare to yesterday's.  Which is better and in what way(s)?

  1. Mr. Giomini's EDM group:
    I would like to see you guys get more involved in your learning. Why don't you guys team up with some students in my class to work together? Even though all three of us teachers are doing the same things, we teach differently. You could benefit from talking to each other. Our assessments are challenging and you NEED to work harder!

  2. I think today's video made more sense then yesterday's video. This guy explained the topic better. Also he gave you time to think about it.

  3. I liked the Kahn Academy better because he explained what he was doing better than the guy in the other video.

  4. Yes it was better than the video yesterday. I felt that it explained how to do the box and whisker plots better than the other one.

  5. Dear Mr.Giomini,
    These videos helped me to understand how to solve the problem. It helped to see the problems being solved on the board while he talked out how to solve step by step.
