Class Topics: 11.16.12

In Math Six today, students began their Pre-Algebra Chapter One summative posttest.
Today's Learning Goals: The student will be able to...

1. evaluate expressions for given values.
2. solve one and two-step algebraic equations with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
3. solve and graph inequalities.
4. simplify algebraic expressions and equations by implementing the distributive property when needed.
5. determine if an ordered pair is a solution to an equation.
6. graph points on a coordinate plane.

For Weekend Practice, it is suggested that the student...

1. check Gradebook Wizard for their updated grades and comments if they finished the assessment.
2. preview Unit Four in their Math Six Journals. 

In Pre-Algebra today, students collaborated with peers to construct a box-and-whisker plot from various data sets.  While constructing the box-and-whisker plot, students had to identify the different measures of central tendency and variability for the data set.

Today's Learning Goals: 

1. analyze data for possible outliers.
2. organize data by constructing a box-and-whisker plot.
3. determine the different measures of variability and central tendency.

For Evening Practice, it is suggested that students...

1. review material from Lesson 4.1 through 4.4 to prepare for Monday's midpoint quiz.
