Class Topics: 11.09.12

In Math Six today, students reviewed their quiz results from yesterday's midpoint assessment.
Today's Learning Goals: The student will be able to...
  1. evaluate algebraic expressions when given a value for a variable.
  2. simplify expressions by combing like terms.
  3. translate word phrases into algebraic expressions.
  4. write and solve algebraic expressions and inequalities from real-world story problems.
For Weekend Practice, it is suggested that the student...
  1. complete the following Khan Skills: MAKE SURE YOU ARE LOGGED IN!
  2. view the following Khan video on Solving Inequalities
In Pre-Algebra today, students created box-and-whisker plots with data generated from yesterday's Chapter Three Summative Posttest results.  We have never made this type of graphical representations for data before, but students were to view a Khan video last night for Evening Practice.
Today's Learning Goals: The student will be able to...
  1. communicate with colleagues using appropriate mathematical terms:
    • median
    • upper quartile
    • lower quartile
    • upper extreme 
    • lower extreme
  2. create a box-and-whisker plot from given data.
  3. develop and write an inference based on the box-and-whisker plot.
For Weekend Practice, it is suggested that the student...
