Class Topics: 01.31.12

In EDM, students completed Day Two of their Unit Five Summative Posttest.  We are just about finished with Unit Five.  We will spend the remainder of the week analyzing test data, writing a creative piece using Geometry as our foundation and construct a design using appropriate tools and a rubric.
In class, students...

  • completed Day Two of their Unit Five Summative Posttest. 
For homework, students SHOULD...
  • post a comment to the blog sharing your feelings about the assessment that we just finished.

This is a genre of music called
Math Rock.  Give it a listen.
In Pre-algebra, students completed their Chapter Six Mid-Chapter Quiz.  Prior to beginning the quiz, students reviewed homework from over the weekend dealing with area and circumference of circles.  
In class, students...

  1. I think that question #1 was the hardest. I think this because I honestly didn't know what to do. I didn't get what I would do with all of the numbers. I also didn't get how I would transfer the information from the regular brick to the whole wall.

  2. I thought that problem 1 on test 2 was the hardest one I had to do. I said that there was only 5 bricks but there was 30. I did 2x5=10 but i had to do 5x6=30 to get the right answer.

  3. I felt that the test was fairly easy and I don't think any of the questions were hard.

  4. Mr.Giomini,

    On this test I thought I did very we'll,(I my be wrong. The only thing off the top my head is that I could have been better at the explanation part of the four point question.

    I feel pretty good about how I did on the assesment. Question 1 on the second part comfused me at first but then I understode after I got help. I spent a lot of time studing to find the missing angles in transversal lines, but it wasn't even on the test!

  8. I thought(so far) that question one on the second part of the test was the hardest. I feel this way because I could not match my answer to any of the multiple choice questions. So I eliminated the answers that I thought made no sense, and got my answer from there. If I got that wrong, I would like to go over it with Mr. Giomini.

  9. Mr.Giomini,
    The question I found the hardest on todays test was the question that you had to find a similarity and a difference for a rhombus and a rectangle because I feel that we didn't cover a lot on rhombuses.

  10. Dear Mr. Giomini,
    I thought the test was fairly easy. One question that kinda stumped me was the very first question about the brick wall or whatever because I didn't exactly know what to do. I think I may have gotten it right but I am not sure. Over all I thought the test was like a unicorn with some cheese ( awesome)
    Sincerely,
    Boko :):):):)

  11. I thought that the assessment was harder than the first one. I thought the questions were a little harder and I couldn't get number one so I had to get help. Thanks!!!!

  12. Mr. Giomini,
    I had some trouble with question number 3. I think I got that question right but I just couldn't really think of a good answer at first but then i got it.

  16. I don't usually listen to this type of music, but I gave it a try. I kind of liked it, but I thought some of the guitar parts were weird..

  17. I had a problem with number 1. The reason I did was because I changed all the number to inches but two of them were already into inches.

  24. Dear Mr. Giomini

    The part that I trouble with was the first day of the test. On the second day of the test I did much better.

  25. I think the test was really easy but I am a little confused on the which rectangle will use less material for that question I did rectangle A with the legth of 12 and the width of 3 and rectangle B with a legth of 9 and a width of 4 and I didn't know which one used the fuest materials.

  27. I felt confident about the first part of the test even before you showed me what I really got on it! I thought the test was pretty easy! The hardest one would probably have been question 1 on part 2 about the bricks. I was a little confused at first, but after reading through it a couple of times, I finally understood it.(or at least I hope I did!) Well, fingers crossed I did great!(:

  28. I think day one was a little harder than day two. I had some problems on the 4 point responses on day one. On day two the only problem I had trouble on was question one.I tried to make a educated guess on it. Overall I think the test wasn't that bad.

    I thought the unit 5 summitive assessment was fairly easy. I can't really say that any question was that challenging, but I think it was the second to last question on the day 1 test that I had a little trouble but I ended up getting it. So I thought I did very well on this test.

  30. I listened to about the first couple of seconds but I really couldn't stand the mans voice. It was really squeaky and annoying.

  31. Haha, I thought it was cool! A little different from what I normally listen to but the majority of them had mustaches so that was awesome. :)

    Thanks for giving us the night off!

  32. Mr. Giomini,
    I thought the first assessment was more difficult then the one we did today. I had the most trouble with finding the Circumference, but i think i got that one right. Thanks!

  33. Mr. Giomini,
    I thought this test was fairly easy... though i did have some trouble on the first question on day 2. Like Boko said I didn't exactly know what to do. For the rest of the test it was pretty easy.

  34. I like how math rock has weird time signatures but in the first video, why was the guy singing about math in a boat!?

  35. It's quite different from the music I listen to. But the music is alright I guess. I give it a 3 out of 5 or less.

  38. Mr Giomini,
    I think that on the test question 1 was the hardest because my answer at first wasn't one of the answers and then I did it over again and I think I got the right answer. If I got it wrong I am totally puzzeled and need help.

  40. This was a very interesting video and how it involves the time signatures. Cool Video!

  41. The videos were a little different, I wouldn't have chose to listen to that music if I had a choice. They were still a little interesting. :D

  42. I think the first day of the test was a moderate amount of difficulty, the second day was pretty simple though. - Mad Jack, totally not crazy.

  43. I thought that the music was alright, didn't quite get the videos, as in not understanding what they were doing other than someone sitting in a boat full of mulch and others playing music. I would rather listen to this on an iPhone than watching the video, but it was still OK.

  44. Mr. Giomini,
    This isn't the kind of music I like like listening to, I like something more upbeat.

  46. I n my opinion, the hardest question on the math test was the 4 point response on day I. I had trouble with this because I did not get what the question was asking, so I struggled getting a 4 out of 4 on that particular question.

  47. This music was really cool i think i will watch more of this!!
