Assignment: 3 - Definitions & Examples, 1 Summary
In this assignment you are to interview three different people regarding negative numbers. Be sure your interviewee knows what a negative number is before you begin. Dogs, significantly younger siblings, and aliens do not apply.
Write in detail!
*Only one person may be a current NOVA student OR teacher and it may not be another 6th grader or TMac, Mo, or Mr. Gacek. Note that it is not required that you have a NOVA student or teacher.
*You may conduct your interview over the phone; there is no excuse not to be able to find three different people.
*Write in the name (and relationship) of each person to you.
*3 Definitions should be written in as much detail as the person gives you. Do not worry about total accuracy at this time; your interviewee might be rusty, but it should be pretty close (see above). ;-)
*3 Examples: your three examples (one per person) must all be different. I would word the second question something like this -
"I need you to give me a real life example, other than 'in math class,' or, 'in a math equation,' where you would need to represent something as a negative number."
Push them on this a bit, okay? They can do it!
*1 Summary: This is a short, concise, easy to understand summary of what you think a negative number is. Write your summary as if you are explaining the concept of a negative number to someone who does NOT know.
Due Wednesday
