All of your parents are hooked up to TeacherEase and should have received a "welcome" from the site. If they have not noticed on in their in-box, they should check their Spam folder. Otherwise, just send me an email and I will have the invitation resent. Some of you have your own passwords in and that will work too. If you would like your own account, please send me your email address and I will hook you up too. Directions for the site are included with that invitation.
*Your pre-quiz scores will show up in the "Comments" box of the assignment. Please follow these directions - Under Academics, select Student Progress Update > Transition Math (current score for class, select this) > go to the Pre-Quiz comment for your score. Poke around ... it's there!
*Your assignment is to send me an email from TeacherEase letting me know that you have seen your score. Your pre-quiz scores will not count unless you let me know that you want to count it. This assignment should be done by selecting "Send email to teachers" under the "Communicate" heading on the TeacherEase site.
*I will be evaluating your tests and providing you feedback within a day or two, then we will be moving forward from wherever YOU are; thank you for the notes!

Assignment: Counting Pets (copy of the questions)
We're going to read histograms again, but this time you should have a better idea of how complex it actually is ... yet simple at the same time. Don't mislead yourself: this homework IS hard. Not the numbers, not the bar graphs, but really reading the data that is in them and understanding it. I want you to really stretch yourself this time.
*Don't forget to think about how the data is tallied. It is different for each of the graphs. If you were taking (or giving) the survey, how would you draw the graph?
*The graphs are DIFFERENT. Make sure you are using the one that gives you the information for the question that is being asked. You only need one of them AND ...
*Some of the questions cannot be answered. If you don't have enough information to answer the question, then you need to explain why and tell me what information you would need to answer it.
*Hint: We practiced a little of this in class today with the beans: each of you held important data in your hand. Think we recorded the data ... don't just look at the highest bar and call it good.
You may complete this assignment in spaces (if you write small), on the back of the worksheet, or on another sheet of paper. Your preference.
Due Wednesday
