Class Topics: 09.06.12

In Math Six today, students developed their analytic skills by making observations in Lesson 1.11: Persuasive Data and Graphs.  We discussed Math Journal page 37 and developed explanations as to why the graph was misleading.  Students finally worked with Mr. Giomini in the Pre-Algebra curriculum to explain discrepancies in the graphs that make it misleading.
Today's Learning Intentions: The student will be able to...

1. discuss how data can presented in graphs inappropriately.
2. analyze a graph for misleading information.
3. compare  line graphs to determine which one is more persuasive.

How is this graph misleading?

In Pre-Algebra today, students received their Chapter One Mid-Quiz.  We discussed some of the more problematic questions from the assessment.  Students were given information as to the steps to take if they would like to have a re-take.  Students then were introduced to Lesson 1-: Ordered Pairs.  

Today's Learning Intentions: The student will be able to...

1. understand the difference between the x and y-axis on a coordinate plane.
2. graph points and lines on the coordinate plane.
