Homework for tonight, December 13, only!
Assignment: Plane Predictions - Link!
Using your two test flights as evidence, answer the questions predicting how you think your plane will do during Thursday's 12 flights.
Show me your thinking. Explain. Predict.
You will not be judged on your accuracy, but do your best to make educated statements backed up with mathematical reasoning.
You WILL be assessed on your thoroughness and use of math terms.
Due Thursday ONLY or take the zero*
*Natasha, Angelique, and Helen, this assignment does NOT and will not apply to you.

Assignment: Box Plot Practice - Link!
Whoa, this was a lot of information wrapped up in one day, wasn't it?!?
Tonight you will practice what we did using two different number lists from which to build your 5-number summaries. What I really want from you is the questions that come up as you build these ... what makes sense? What does not? What do you do when the data isn't easy to manipulate? How do you decide the scale for your graph? Etc. There are a LOT of questions, so let's figure out which ones come up tonight when you are working.
By the way, if I haven't told you lately: this is my FAVORITE graph. I have my reasons. 😊
There is MORE HELP at this link for creating a 5-number summary from data and at this link for drawing your box plot. You can check the Mo'Help tab for other topics. Just a reminder.
Try your best, use your notes, and come with questions tomorrow!

Homework for Thursday, December 7
Assignment: What's Yo' Problem? - Link!
All problems should involve negative numbers.
All answers to your problems and your work should be on the back of your page, all problems are on the front.
There are two options for tonight's homework:
Option 1:
a) Candy Point: create a candy point worthy problem using the format I gave you in class. Your wording must be legible and include an illustration. You may draw or paste in your illustration. You may type or handwrite your problem and tape it onto the form. I should be able to print your candy point tomorrow if I want to and have it ready to use.
b) Central Tendency problem: create a number set of 8 numbers that includes negatives. Ask one question about this set involving the mean, median or mode.
--------------------------------------
Option 2:
a) Candy Point: create a word problem that is candy point worthy, but it does not need to be in candy point form or include an illustration.
b) Central Tendency problem: create a number set of 8 numbers that include negatives. Ask one question about this set involving the mean, median or mode.
c) Real Life Problem: Include Kyle, Mr. Gacek, or Mavis and write a scenario as they are written for our Real Life Negs problems.
d) Write 3 different equations: one at each level: simple, large numbers, and decimals. These are just equations as in 4 + (-5) = ? and -4 + (-3.8) = ?

Homework for Wednesday, December 6
Assignment: Real Life Negatives C
We went over this in class today: you MUST write the correct equation in the order it is shown before solving. Your equation MUST be written as an addition problem and it must be solvable in the equation as you write it ... meaning parentheses are fine as long as they do not change the answer.
Having the correct solution is the second part.
Knowing how to set up an equation from verbal (written) information is super important!

Homework for Tuesday, December 5
Assignment: Negative Addition Choice
*The title of each assignment option is a link to the worksheet.
*Tell yourself a story as you work through the equations, it will help you to think about what you are doing with the numbers.
*Feel free to select a different assignment than the one you chose in class and/or do more than one worksheet if you are interested!
A) Addition Basics - Practice using negatives in simple equations!
B) Big Addition - Same skill with bigger numbers.
L) Longer Addition - Longer equations where you will need to sort your positives and negatives together before solving. If you are still number-line hopping, this worksheet is not for you.
D) Decimals - Test your ability to "do" the right thing and keep track of whether or not your answer is positive or negative.

Homework for Monday, December 4
Assignment: Real Life Negatives B - Link!
Same as last Thursday, your task is to make sense of the problem and solve for the question. We're still not concerned with what it looks like in an equation, but we did practice thinking about it today. We will be seeing equations on worksheets soon ... don't rush it!
*When you get to the mean, range, and median questions (#5) use what you know about these terms to answer the question. Use the given VALUES ... which we discussed in class today. (not absolutes!) Draw yourself a picture if you need to; you do have the tools to solve these.
Be sure to write all of your work on the paper so I can see how you are solving them.
Calculators are not allowed; I'm hoping that goes unsaid. ;-)
