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.

All the work you could owe.... but are to lazy to find :)

Many of you are asking about the "no dance" list.  Here is what must be completed before you arrive at the Halloween Dance.

Monday September 15

Hi everyone. I am not here for the morning but I am here on the blog. Mr. Angeles will get you through the morning. All work is to be completed for tomorrow. Please work hard to get it done on time.

1. Krypto. Todays numbers are 1, 12, 6, 11, 8, 4 = 9 For those of you who do not remember the rules you need to use the red numbers to create the number 9. Remember the order of operations and remember to write out your equations horizontally if possible.

2. Similar to the triangle questions we have been doing in class you are now going to make a Magic square. You may only use the integers 1-9 and all rows horizontally, vertically and diagonally need to have the same sum. If you think you have a correct answer you can ,at home, with the following link.

3. Please find the Mean Median Mode and Range for the following sets of data:

The image is a link that will allow you to check your answers.

Two more problems for today...

4. The number of minutes that trains were late to arrive at a station was recorded.

• Find the Mean Median and Mode
• Which measure would you use to argue that too many trains are late each day?
  

5.The table below gives the number of accidents each year at a road intersection.

• Work out the Mean Median and Mode
• A road safety group want to get the council to make this junction safer.

More Problems

Using the integers from 1 to 9. Place one integer in each of the circles, so that the sum along each side of the triangle is 20. Use each number only once.

Use the same numbers to obtain a sum of 17 along each side.
What other sums are possible along each side?
