Class Topics: 08.31.12

In Math Six today, students collaborated with peers to play the game Measures of Central Tendency Shark.  Mr. Giomini modeled the game for students with some volunteers.  This game helps students review the different Measures of Central Tendency and ends the week on a good note.
Today's Learning Intentions: The students will be able to...
  1. calculate the measures of central tendency and measure of spread for a certain collection of data.
  2. decide which measure would earn them the greatest amount of points in the game Measures of Central Tendency Shark Shark.
  3. determine which measure most accurately represents the set of data.
For Evening Practice, students CAN...
  1. complete Study Link 1.5.
In Pre-Algebra today, Mr. Giomini answered questions that dealt with the appropriate homework from each class period.  Students then were introduced to combining like terms and using the distributive property.  
Today's Learning Intentions: The student will be able to...
  1. identify like terms in an algebraic expression.
  2. simplify the expression by combining like terms
  3. use the distributive property to simplify algebraic expressions.
For Weekend Practice, students CAN...
  1. complete Practice 1-6 Combining Like Terms (1 - 11 odd, 13 - 20) and Problem Solving 1-6.  (Handout)

    Hi Mr Giomini! It's Kate The Great Balthaser! Tonight (September 2, 2012) on 60 minutes there was a special on Khan Academy! It was interesting because it explained how he made the videos and how the website was created. He made the first video for his niece when she was in seventh grade! Bill Gates actually helped him expand the idea! Hope your year is off to a great start! Enjoy the rest of your long weekend!
