Stem and Leaf Plots + more info

Hello again! Wow, two days in a row?! :)
So, it has come to my attention that there is some confusion regarding the material from last week. Specifically, I'm hearing a lot of "the sub didn't teach us!" Well, GOOD!! I didn't want the sub to teach the material. Instead, I designed the lessons to be exploratory, so the students has to answer questions from the text to learn the material on their own. No blaming the substitute! :)

We covered Frequency Tables (Ch 2.1) and Line Plots (Ch 2.3) last week. The assignments are on PowerSchool if you would like to go over and practice.

I still don't have a voice, so I'll post the notes taken in class today. The notes are taken directly from the workbook that comes with the textbook. Students are not provided a copy of this workbook, but I occasionally assign work from it and make copies for the kiddos.

I have also posted the study guide and the answers to the study guide here on the blog. The study guide IS homework, so please complete it for the next class period.

It's been awhile!

Hi everyone. So sorry for being absent last week. The illness has grabbed hold of the Mach home, and we're all doing the best we can to battle it away! :)

So, last week I had written lesson plans asking the students to explore and learn concepts directly from the book. It appears that my lessons were not totally used! From what I've gathered, all three classes did Frequency Tables, but not everyone got Line Plots. I'll take a little time covering both as needed before our test this Friday!

Yep.. that's right! We have a test Friday!! I'll be handing out a study guide as soon as it's ready.

For now, here are the notes for today. I hope it helps. Because I can barely talk, I just posted my notes.

Homework: Lesson 2.4 / #'s 5, 7, 11, 13, 15 / pgs 71-72

Number 23 from the study guide

Hi everyone!

Here is how I would do number 23 on the study guide. I hope watching this helps.

Here are a few screen shots of work down from the study guide.

Monday is re-take day!!

Alright. I know it has been a long time since there have been any real grades in the books. The students have through the end of the school day today to complete the Lego Surface Area project. I have all that have been turned in thus far graded and entered into PowerSchool.

Next week, there will be another project that will be completed in class. This is NOT a group project, and will be done at the end of the week next week. Monday will be used to give students time to re-take any quizzes or tests from this quarter.

To help, I've included the answers to the study guide below. I will post a video or two to go over a few of the more challenging problems. Good Luck preparing this weekend! Remember that the following week is Spring Break, so make sure you make next week count!
