Homework for Thursday, 9/22

I'm so sorry for leaving out a few details on the homework assignment tonight!  My fabulous first period math students did not receive instructions on how to draw the box plots.  Argh!  You have a few choices ...
1)  Click on this link: How to draw a box plot without graph paper! and follow the directions, doing your best to figure it out from that.
2)  Contact someone from period 2 and ask them to explain it.
3)  Find some graph paper and draw them like we practiced in class Wednesday.
4)  Wait all the way until Monday and we will go over it in class then.  (the primary disadvantage to this is that then you'll have double the homework on Monday)
In any case, please notice that I forgot to explain it to first period and it's not that I expect you to just know what to do ... so take a deep breath and select one of the options above.  Thanks!

Homework: in order of importance - 
1) Teach your parent(s) how to complete a 5-number summary from any amount of data.  Remember that you are not allowed to have them read my link themselves, although you may reference it if you need to.
   Examples for finding 5-number summaries
2)  Box & Whisker Plot Practice worksheet
*See the top section of this post if you're confused, stuck, or just want to be certain you are doing it correctly.
Due:  Parent Candy Point tonight at the 7:00 Back-to-school-night.
          Box Plot Worksheet is due Friday, 9/23
