Battleship Grid and One Question ... Link!
You are in varying degrees of completion with this assignment, so please be attentive to how this assignment applies for you:
1) Those of you who got the orange stickie note, "You are good to go!"
***Ayla, this includes you.
2) Those of you who got the orange stickie note, "Name your point!"
- both of these groups need to answer the question that was on the back of the grid handed out after class today. You do NOT need to redo your battleship game grid unless you want to. Please staple it on to the new question.
BE SURE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION THOROUGHLY.
The rest of you either did not turn in a battleship grid or did not make your lines on the diagonal, bisecting the boxes.
*Both lines need to follow this bisecting rule (and they are perpendicular ... that's vocabulary!) We went over this in class today.
*Both lines need to be straight.
*Follow the guidelines for coloring.
*Your point needs to be named.
*You will be graded this time on following directions.
You are to redo your battleship grid on the new sheet passed out at the end of class today (link above). It doesn't matter whether you use the same point or not, just be sure the directions are followed accurately! You may refer to the directions posted last week (below) if you need more detail.
BE SURE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION THOROUGHLY.

Assignment: Real Life Negatives C - Link!
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 may or may not be necessary, but should NOT change the solution as per the order of operations.
How you organize it to solve it and having the correct solution are the secondary parts.
Knowing how to set up an equation from verbal (written) information is super important!

Assignment: Negative Addition Choice #1
Today you get to select your assignment based on how comfortable you feel seeing negatives in addition equations.
For example, perhaps you see a red 8 and a black 5 and have no trouble thinking of that as a -8 added to a +5, or even of knowing the answer is -3.
However ...
Do you recognize that as the equation -8 + 5 = -3 ??
So here are your homework choices:
*B = Basics - Link!
These equations are pretty new to me and I am most comfortable just solving these simpler ones I can typically do in my head.
*G = Feeling Good - Link!
These equations may or may not be new to me, but I am feeling pretty good about them and want to try some equations that I may have to solve on paper. I would like some numbers over 13 to work with!
*C = Challenge - Link!
I totally get this. Let me work with decimals and more than two numbers in an equation ... this concept is well-within my wheelhouse and I am ready to go for it!
Yes, as always you can switch worksheets if you are unhappy with the choice you made in class today.

Homework for Thursday, December 12
There is kind of a lot here ... please be patient and read through these directions if you are feeling stuck. Please wait and ask me tomorrow if you are still stuck ... there is always the weekend to catch back up. ;-)
#1) Battleship Game Board - Link!
Today you are to create your answer key for the Battleship game.
1) Plot any point using the 12 x 12 graph you received in class. Record that point.
2) Draw the diagonal lines that MUST bisect the corners of each box, meaning that they radiate from the points at 45-degree angles. These lines must be drawn straight, be accurate, and be in pencil or black pen.
3) Color the sections according to the key we will all be using: Blue = north, Green = east, Yellow = south, Red = west. You should have this key from the notes we took today.
You will be graded on the accuracy of your point, lines, and key.

#2) Battleship Questions - Exploration - Link!
The intention of this homework is not to “know” the answers, but to discover them. You may find this frustrating, so hang in there and think of it as a puzzle or a mystery you are trying to solve. Try it, try something else, explore!
Have a coordinate plane and use it to explore the questions … draw on it! Test your ideas!
Any graph paper will work; just draw and label the grid yourself placing (0,0) in the center.
If you do not have graph paper, you can print a copy HERE.
And these are Cartesian Planes if you prefer to have it done for you: Link!

Assignment: Real Life Negatives B - Link!
Same as last week, 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 have practiced a lot of visual thinking lately. 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 ... . think of number lines and what the numbers represent, then what value the answer would have. Draw yourself a picture if you need to; you do have the tools to solve these, but you need to use them!
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. ;-)

Assignment: Sodas ws - Link!
Yes, it's another adventure in graph reading!
REAL graph reading. ;-)
Remember that the "tricky" part of this worksheet is thinking about how the bar graph represents actual DATA. We've collected random chaos, made organized lists, and figured the central tendencies from that data. Now you need to convert the graph (whether in your head or on paper) back to the collection of data in order to determine those again. Don't think like the kindergartner you, think like the growing mathematical you!
*I recommend drawing clear, straight lines on the graph. Use a ruler!
*You are not required to convert the graphs back into data on paper, but you do need to think about what that data would look like as a list. hint hint hint!
*When asked to explain how you got your answer, write an answer! The key is to see how you think mathematically ... that is actually the challenge of this assignment.

Assignment: Real Life Negatives - A ... Link!
Welcome to the "real" world (as real as it gets in these examples) of negative integers. Today you are to focus on what you are doing not how you write it.
Mo's advice:
*Think about what the numbers represent. Draw pictures on the page or in your mind, but use your imagination to think about the story behind the question.
*Associate! These numbers all have values that go in a direction: towards zero or away from zero. So if you go down the steps at Hogwarts, all of those downward steps represent going DOWN (aka a negative number, fyi) and all of the times you go UP get you higher (a positive direction). Again, picture the story.
*HOW you solve these problems should be common sense. I'm not at all concerned how you represent it mathematically, I want to know where you end up: behind the starting point? above sea level? above zero? with less money? How can you collect (commute and associate) the values of the numbers and use them to come up with an answer?
Think about what you know to be true and then figure out how to get to that point.
EXAMPLES: each with different answers, yet essentially the same numbers ...
A) If your horse is 7 miles away from Olympia, and runs for 5 miles towards Olympia, rests, then runs 4 more miles in the same direction, he ends up 2 miles PAST Olympia, right? Right!
B) If your horse is 7 miles away from Olympia, and begins running to Olympia for 5 miles, but realized he forgot his baby horse, so he runs back for 4 miles, he is now 6 miles away from (before) Olympia, right? Try drawing that scenario.
*The rest of it is up to you. I strongly, strongly recommend drawing yourself a simple scenario and figuring out what it is you want to know. Don't worry about the negatives or positives, just think about what they represent in the story. I keep saying this because it is key to your "aha" moment!
*And yes, labels are VERY important ... you MUST label your answers (either with words or a negative sign) to get full credit.
Due Wednesday - try to enjoy it. ;-)

Homework for Monday, December 2
Welcome Back!
Please remember that you will see Coffee Prices Part 1 in Monday's grade slot for this trimester.
Assignment: Coffee Prices Part 2 - Link!
You will notice some similarities and some differences between this worksheet and Coffee Prices Part 1. The main difference, of course, is that this table gives you the amount of the increase or decrease, NOT the price of the coffee per pound. You will have to figure out the actual price each month to graph.
*This is an accumulative total; do not go back to the original $3.10 every time, keep building on (or taking away from) the price each month.
*It is indeed safe to start your graph at $3.10. Although you will be adding and subtracting values, the price of coffee will never dip below $3.10.
*You do not "need" to draw in the mean line, but you will draw the line of best fit, The line of best fit represents how YOU think of it, not the fancy algorithmic value. You may draw in the mean line if you want to compare the two though. ;-)
Get used to thinking about those negative values and how they work in the big picture ... the concept is much easier than the equations themselves, but the better you understand how they work, the easier they will be.
PLEASE USE A RULER TO MAKE YOUR LINES.
