Homework for Monday, November 14

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!
Due Tuesday
