Labor Day

If you need to finish your Renaissance Star Math, please raise your hand to let me know.

After completing the Check-your-understanding Questions, which were important for everyone to do?

Uniform Distribution vs Symmetric Distribution

Use the sentence starters and vocabulary words to describe the distributions.

Thursday

Today you will receive the graphic organizer:

Complete each box by adding notes, examples, and annotations (notes that explain what is happening in your examples). Refer to your notes, CYUqs, our vertical collaboration tasks, etc. Work together. Help each other.

You may use the notes you make on this graphic organizer during the test (nothing else).

What’s the Story in Our School?

Use the worksheet to guide you as you create a statistical question, collect data, display it three different ways, and summarize your findings.

Knowledge Application Project reminder: only one question

A yes or no question is not a statistical question (because it doesn't anticipate enough variability). Also, you can't put yes and no on a number line (so it won't work for the three data displays we learned)

A question like, "What color is your hair?" is a statistical question but you can't put hair color on a number line (and all three of our data displays use a number line).

If you want to use a dot plot to get the data for making your box and whisker plot, remember that each x (or dot) is a data point. Be sure to write them all down!

Use the lines that are provided to create the spacing on your number lines (don't make lines between the given lines)

When making your histogram, be sure your buckets hold more than one number (Your dot plot already goes by 1's)

Finish your Unit 1 Graphic Organizer (Due tomorrow) and your "What's the story at our school?" Knowledge Application Project (Due Friday)

Both activities are designed to help you prepare for tomorrow's test.

If you need help, get help. If someone else needs help, give help.

Tonight: spend at least 15 minutes reading over your graphic organizer. If something on it confuses you, look back at your notes, my notes, Google it, or ask a friend. Then make changes and update your graphic organizer. Be sure to bring it tomorrow for the test.

Unit

Take out something to write with. If you would like, you may use your graphic organizer. No phones, smart watches, or other electronic devices.

When you get the test, be sure to read and follow the directions.

Do your best. Show your thinking. I will use your work to determine where you are in terms of your understanding on the key learning target(s).

When finished, put your test (with your name on it) and graphic organizer in the basket in the front. You may read (Sora), draw, write, work on an assignment, or rest. Do not talk.

Please raise your hand to let me know!

After reviewing your assessments, I see that EVERYONE has been working hard and doing their best. The time you are spending thinking and working together is paying off. I am proud of YOU.

We have a retake day scheduled for 9/18.

This is what you need to know about retakes:

The most important part of the test happens right now: reviewing your work and learning from mistakes.

1. Find someone whose work shows a Level 3 or 4. Compare and contrast your work and their work. Discuss what you notice. Ask questions. Think. Don't copy.

2. On your corrections worksheet, neatly rewrite the problem, show your thinking, and circle the correct answer.

3. Before moving to the next problem, write down your mistake and what you will do to not make that mistake again.
