Assignments: (it looks like a lot, it is not if you have stayed caught up...)
1) Bag Prediction
Guess what will be in the bag hanging in the front of the classroom? The closest guesser (using absolute values) wins it! (1 point) The remaining 3 points for this assignment will come from your explanation of why you picked the numbers you did. Use the graphs, use the data, use your wit!
*this should be stapled to the back of your packet after we use it in class Tuesday.
2) M&M Packet (copy of this worksheet on yesterday's blog post)
Follow the directions on the sheet; the rubric for points is there too. Quality of your answers is important. Make any corrections you want to tonight! You will staple your bag prediction on the back of this packet before turning it in tomorrow.
3) Golden Ticket Graph
This is a take-home quiz ... which is why I do not have a lot of directions detailed here ... you needed to tally the data in class, write your initial prediction, and follow the directions as given.
a) You were to guess what would happen, writing for one minute.
b) You now have a sample of the data that we collected. You will need to figure out parts, wholes, and how to convert that into a circle graph (pie chart). You may use a calculator. Make a circle graph, include labels ... everything that will make this complete.
c) Why do you think the results happened that did? They are results of a sample of the population, no disputing that! But would they happen again if we sampled other people or would it be completely different? What do you think? What kind of sample is this? Is it predictable? Etc. etc. write for at LEAST 3 minutes to tell me what you think. (we'll talk more about it in class)
Due Tuesday
