Homework 1: TB: Data & Graphs: 7.1: 6-9, 10, 12, 14, 16, 17, 21, 22, 24 Additional questions:
Staple your HW together in the order above (7.1 on top). The End. | Tues, April 8th | |
| Try out the "Zoo Problem" before class on Tuesday. We will discuss it in class. Homework 2: TB: 2.1 (p73) 15-17, 19-34, 41-42 --- Note: Our book is using A' for "not A" , to denote the complement of A. TB: 8.1 (p532) 6,7, 10, 11, 18, 19, 20, 21, 40
| Tues, April 15th | |
| Absence | Sorry for my absence on Tuesday. We will resume the Pigs Probability Project when I return on Thursday. If you were absent last Thursday (Day 4), please catch up on the pigs project before class Thursday. Each group, and each absent student, will be asked to share their ideas and theories. The goal is to see how many different strategies we can find, even if they don't all lead to the solution we want. The explanation for those who missed last Thursday is here. | ||

Homework 3: TB: 8.1: 34-36, 38 Describe the experiment/ simulation briefly for each, then carry out the simulation and summarize the data. By simulation, the book is asking for the sort of hands on tasks you could create in a gradeschool classroom. Consider using dice, spinners, pieces of paper in a hat, etc. Also in TB: 8.1: 40, 41 (omit 40, done on last HW... oops) Please type your answer to TB: 8.1: Writing and Discussion #4: "One of your students told you that if a family has 3 children the probability that they are all boys is 1/4. She reasoned that there are 4 possiblilities: all boys, all girls, 2 girls and a boy, or 2 boys and a girl. So the probability of all boys is 1/4. Explain how you would help her understand why her solution is not correct." TB: 8.2: 3-4, 7-8, 11-15 The end. | Tues, April 22nd | |
| Probability Story Problems Worksheet: Complete 2 of these 3 by Tuesday's class. We will discuss them in class. Bring ideas and solutions and questions to share. | |||

For Thursday's class
(Rest is due as homework on Tuesday, as usual) Homework 4: Read 7.2: Box and Whisker Plots: p 475-477 TB: Measures of Center, Box plots: 7.2: 2, 11-16 Jellyblubber worksheet(From Tuesday) : Finish all questions and turn in as homework. Additional questions: (Type this part of the homework. )
| Tues, April 29th | |
| Migraines Boxplot worksheet is due on Tuesday. We will be starting geometry. You should dig out your old compass and protractor, and a ruler. (We have a classroom set of these tools as well.) | May 6th | |
| Before class on Thursday, make sure you are able to construct each of the following,
using only a straightedge and compass. Formal write-ups are not necessary yet. (The list of shapes
for the actual homework will be somewhat different)
Homework 6: TB 9.1: 4, 10, 11,12, 14-20, 24-26, Writing and Discussion #2 Writing and Discussion #2: (For those with a different edition of the book) Students are sorting polygonal shapes into two groups, parallelograms and nonparallelograms. You see several students putting squares and rectangles into the nonparallelogram group. Describe ways you can help these students understand that squares and rectangles are parallelograms. Constructions: Write specific instructions for how to create the following geometric shapes using only a straightedge and compass. Include names of points you use. Also include carefully constructed pictures for each of the 4 shapes.
Here is a link to an example of construction instructions. This is an example, not part of the assignment. | May 13th | |
| Homework 7: (workbook) WB 9.1: 2-8 (p221-225) TB 9.2: 4-6, 12, 28-30 (explain your reasoning for 28-30)
Weather permitting we may be outside for part of Thursday. (after quiz) | Tuesday, May 20th | |

Homework: 8 Draw a regular nonagon (9 sided polygon) using the vertex (interior) angle method. You may use a ruler, compass, and protractor. Include _brief_ instructions for your drawing, including directions on how you decided on the specific angle measurements you used. You do not have to prove any theorems here, but you if used a theorem, show how. Draw a regular pentagon using the central angle method. You may use a ruler, compass, and protractor. Include _brief_ instructions for your drawing, including directions on how you decided on the specific angle measurements you used. WB: 9.2: 1-5 (p229-236) TB: 9.2: 7, 10, 11, 14, 15, 22, 23 Read section 9.3: Polyhedra - Cones and Cylinders: p603-608, then do TB 9.3: 2-4, 8-11. | Tuesday, May 27th | |
| Second midterm is planned for Thursday of Week 9 (May 29th). Additional material covered in Week 10 will include measurement (ch 10). |
Homework: 9 TB 9.4 (symmetry) 5, 11, 13, 15, 17, 25. (These Symmetry problems are odd #s so you can practice before Thursday's midterm. They do not need to be turned in.) Additional Geoboard homework will be added on Thursday (passed out in class) The first 3 pages of the beige geoboards area worksheet are due on Tuesday.
