Assignment: Fun with Measurement? - Link!
You may ask anyone for help with this worksheet and you may look up HOW to solve for the answers, but you may not “look up” the answers. No calculators may be used; show your work where needed! I repeat, you may learn HOW to do the answers, but you may not GET the answers ... that part you figure out for yourself. ;-)

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.
Due Friday
*Test corrections handed in on Friday, complete with parent signatures will receive one candy point to be awarded on Monday in class. This is true whether or not you missed any on the actual test! Test corrections may certainly be handed in late, but will not receive a candy point. (except Livvy who has a planned absence) ;-)

Homework for Tuesday, October 3
Assignment: Make the Data Fit - Link!
This is an effort based assignment. The idea is that you will attempt to solve these problems, not that you will necessarily complete them ... some of them are tough! Use the organizational skills you have learned from our in-class activities, especially the sticky-note graphs.
Please follow the directions completely before you begin because the directions give you the standards for which you are grading yourself: no distractions: no music, no television, no conversations, no help, no nothing.
*You do NOT need to work on these problems in order.
*Set a timer for 15 minutes of uninterrupted time and try your best to puzzle these out.
*When the timer goes off, grade yourself using the scale on the worksheet.
*If you feel you are distracted, your mind is drifting, you haven't tried as much as you have been frustrated and stuck, then lower your score accordingly. The grading scale on the worksheet is a guideline.
WHEN YOU ARE DONE and AFTER YOU HAVE GRADED YOURSELF, you may work on these problems more and even work with a parent or other puzzle-minded person if you’d like, but it is not required. Your grade for this assignment is based on your scoring of yourself using the above requirements, not upon completion of the assignment. This is brain math-aerobics!Due Wednesday
