Assignment: Favorite Pastimes
Due: Friday, September 18
Today we are going to begin inserting our graphing and statistics assignments into this unit. Graphing is where the logic we have been awakening meets the arithmetic. Learning to develop a discerning eye and interpret data is, honestly, one of the most important things a person can do with math. We are starting with a simple Venn diagram that is familiar to most students, but it won't take long to move on to bigger and more exciting graphs.
So, how can you help tonight?
*A Venn diagram is pretty straight-forward. Read through the categories and have them look for the overlaps. The outermost parts of the circles are the singular categories, so moving inward is where they look for (for example) people who own dogs AND cats versus just people who own cats. It's important to remember that they represent different people.
*Once you have gone over that, which we also did in class today, tell them to give it their best shot and see if they can make all of the puzzle pieces fit, then answer the questions. That's it!
