Class Topics: 10.18.11

In EDM today, we did had two things going on again.  In first and third period, we completed our Unit Three Formative Pretest; look for scores on GBW later tonight.  During fifth period, we completed our Discovery Education Benchmark Assessment.  This data provides us some insight as to where are strengths and weaknesses may lie in Mathematics.  Tonight, watch the video below and use your own digits to create a problem that demonstrates the associative property.

To do this correctly, you will need a specific amount of digits on one side of the equal sign and then that same number of digits on the other side of the equal sign.  You can use either addition or multiplication to complete this task.

In Pre-Algebra today, we were introduced to adding and subtracting both decimals and fractions.  This may sound like fifth grade work, but we threw integers into the mix.  We took a short quiz at the end of the lesson to show what we understood from the lesson.  Complete the Problem of the Day shown below by posting your answer and explain to me how you developed your solution.

Problem of the Day
Six sprinters are running for the gold medal in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.   In how many different ways can they end up at the finish line assuming that there are no ties?

    20+(18+23)=(20+18)+23 or 20(18x23) = (20x18)23

    Hello, Mr. giomini the associative property is basically showing how you put a number in a different part of adding in a formula.

    example

    3(4+5}=4(3+5) which both would both be 12!!!

    Hi Mr. Giomini:

    I posted my answer last night but still don’t see it and not sure if you got it so….
    (3+8)+5 = 3+(8+5)
    11+5=3+13
    16=16

    And
    2(4*6)=(2*4)6
    2(24)=(8)6
    48=48
