Work for October 29

Hi Everyone.  I am sick today.  I have no voice and find it depressing when I try to talk and sound like a snapping turtle.  Hrumph.  Here is the work you need to accomplish today.

Homework Book 20, 21

Show you Know on Page 82
Show you Know on Page 83
Show you Know on Page 84

Copy down any Key Ideas you do not have onto your Foldable from Page 84
Page 85 Do questions 1-13
Page 86 Do Questions 14-18

DO NOT DO THE QUESTION PAST QUESTION 18. THESE ARE FOR TOMORROW.

For all questions SHOW ALL YOUR WORK. It is not good enough to just put 3 as the answer to, What is the Square Root of 9? You have to prove your understanding. 

If you get stuck use the back of the book for the answer, copy out the question and fill in the middle or the WORK.


DO NOT GET STUCK ON ONE QUESTION.  DO ALL THE ONES YOU KNOW THEN GO BACK TO THE ONES YOU STRUGGLED ON.

Each room needs three scribes today. 

• Scribe 1 Show You Know Page 82, Page 85 Questions 1,5,10,16
  
• Scribe 2 Show You Know Page 83  Page 85 Questions 2,6,11,15
  
• Scribe 3 Show You Know Page 84  Page 85 Questions 3,7,12,14

Each scribe must explain how to solve the questions mentioned. These are very important scribes. (New kids only.  no repeat scribes.) Labels are scribepost, Name, squareroots. Remember these scribes are important.  

I will be in the Math Help Chat Box periodically during the day.  Leave a message if you need help.

Labels Biff817, ratiorateproportion, "Sesame Street Video" (substitute your name for Biff)
Body of Post

Who was in your group then...

1. Part 1 Definition or Ratio, Rate and Proportion with an example showing how to use it.  Use your pink paper to help you.  These definition and examples will be part of your video.  Remember when you rewrite the script to the video or song please add the definition of Ratio Rate and Proportional Reasoning.
2. Part 2 You need to embed the video from Sesame Street into your post.  To do that you need to go to youtube, search for the title of your Sesame Street video found at sesamestreet.org. If you cannot find it at youtube please leave the link to the video at sesamestreet.org and a brief description.  i.e. The Count is counting different speeds on the speedometer etc
3. Part 3 Embed your video in your post.  Upload your video to youtube.  We have a youtube channel.  To upload go to youtube and sign in a spmathgr8@gmail.com. Your password is the same one we always use for math projects. There will be a second post on what to do at youtube.

As always when you have finished your post please publish.  Over the weekend watch other videos and comment.   You can comment on other rooms too.

Sesame Street Rocks

Yesterday someone sent me a Sesame Street video. It wasn't this video but I saw but it peaked my interest...



How can we use videos found at Sesame Street to show our learning.  Simple we are going to rewrite them!!!

Yes I said rewrite.


Your assignment is to choose a video from Sesame Street and rewrite to have a theme of either Ratio, Rate or Proportional Reasoning.  In the video above imagine Ernie is being hussled to buy a ratio.  You could show lots of different examples of ratio and explain what it is.  When Ernie is broke at the end and tells the hussler he bought 9's you could have bought rates. Ernie would then give multiple examples of rates.

The possibilities are endless.
