Assignment: Terminating and Repeating Decimals (there is no online copy of this worksheet available)
Fractions are division problems and, in this case, you will be using division to turn them into their decimal equivalents. Then sort the original fractions into the columns based upon whether they are a repeating or terminating decimal.
This is a NO CALCULATOR assignment; please use the brain that came with your skull. ;-)
*Divide the top number by the bottom number: 3/4 = 3 divided by 4.
Some of these, like the example above, may be mental math and do not need to be solved mathematically on your paper.
Some of these, like 13/15, would need to be written out as long division problems. I know the difference.
*Repeating decimals, like 13/15, need to be written with the repeating bar over the number(s) that repeats.

Assignment: Fall Math Self-Reflection
Please note that this assignment is referred to as an "Online Quiz" in your TeacherEase page, but that is only because that is the only way I have found to create an assignment that you can answer in essay form online. It is not a quiz, just to be clear. ;-)
*Go to your TeacherEase account.
*Select "Assignments" or look in the "This Week at a Glance" column on the right of your home page. This will take you to a description of the assignment.
*Note the "Fall Math Self-Reflection" assignment referred to as an "Online Math Survey"assignment and select, "Take Quiz."
Remember that until you "submit" your survey, you can close it and continue working on it later.
Your answers need to be thoughtful and thorough; I am asking you to spend at least three minutes writing about each question, but you can write as much more as you want to!
I enjoy reading your responses, so don't worry about writing tooooo much.
If you select the "hints" button that is attached to each of the individual questions, I have written some ideas if you need help starting to think about the question and how you might respond to it. There is a wide variety of ways of thinking about each one.
This assignment is worth one point per answer, so make sure what you write shares your thinking completely.
Due by midnight Sunday, but preferably by midnight Friday.

Assignment: Complete Popcorn Observations - Link
Today in class we completed the majority of this worksheet. You should have all of the statistics provided by your classmates to help you complete the written observations ... if you do not have them, you will need to pick them up tomorrow.
Your remaining work is: write.
For three minutes, connect the math to how you might choose to purchase microwaved popcorn. Even if you don't normally eat it, discuss how the advertisers use their marketing (cost, name brand, etc.) to get you to buy their product. Was it the best tasting to you? To your class?
There are lots of things to talk about here and what you discuss/observe is your choice.
HOWEVER ... make sure there is math (some statistics from our experiment) included in your discussion. This is, after all, about connecting the math to life!

Welcome to Kyle's world! Many of you will get frustrated with Kyle, but know that he is here to help you make sense of decimals. You may NOT use a calculator for these problems. While it might be painful, you'll be mathematically stronger because of him. ;-)
Kyle hints:
*Kyle does not live at the Burger Barn.
*Kyle works a set number of hours per day, but not every day of the week.
*Kyle is an avid bike rider.
*Bus tickets are one-way only.

Assignment: Test Corrections
Please note that this is an assignment in itself, it does NOT change your test score.
You will be scored based upon the number of correct corrections you make. If you don't actually correct it, then it's still incorrect, eh?
*Please CIRCLE the errors in your work
*Please IDENTIFY the specific error you made in the "Reason(s) Missed" column.
*Please REWORK the problem correctly.
*Please write your NEW ANSWER in the "new answer" box.
ALL of these steps are worth points.
If you received 100% on this test and are therefore correcting my mistakes, please follow the same steps as above using the equation on the back of the test corrections sheet.
Everyone: Please indicate whether you are retaking the test with "yes" or "no."
If you ARE retaking the test, please indicate which retake option you would prefer.
*Note: the retest will have the same types of problems, but the numbers will be different.

Assignment: Easy Peasy Decimals - Link!
Not to cause you stress, but I am HOPEFUL that these are easy problems for you. Remember, I do want you to rate them 5 (easy!) through 1 (not easy!) so I can know how comfortable you are with decimals in general. Be honest ... please. ;-)
Use the clues in the problem to determine what to do. I like to begin by reading the sentence at the bottom of each box ... what are you solving? Then read the information and figure out how to find that answer.
*In the "work" box, you must show what you did even if you used mental math. For example, 16.2 + 2.2 = 18.4 shows me that you added. If you can do that in your head, great, but I want to see that you knew to add and that you know which numbers TO add.
*And remember, as we determined today: there are disadvantages to relying on too much mental math.
Due Tuesday
Order of Operation Tests:
Your scores are in TeacherEase now.
We will discuss your favorite retest option tomorrow. I'm thinking either this Thursday at lunch or next Wednesday at lunch, but those of you retesting will "vote" on it. That vote will happen on your test corrections form which we will go over in class tomorrow.
Details to come!

Assignment: Redesign your paper airplane
It sounds like you all had fun with T-Mac discussing your airplanes and how their flights were reflected in your box plots. Super cool. Now you are working on your redesign to see how it affects your central tendencies, flight patterns, etc. I'm thinking we will take more flights next week, I just don't know exactly how the week will look yet. But do plan on bringing your new planes on Monday keeping these points in mind as T-Mac stressed them to you:
*You must choose only ONE element from your plane design to change that will allow for a longer flight (as opposed to completely redesigning it). You brainstormed ideas like wing shape, number of folds in the wing, plane length/width, size, weight...etc.
I look forward to seeing you all!
