Histograms

If you missed yesterday or want another go round on histograms, here's a pretty good video that you can watch:

Histogram Video

Today more histograms and tomorrow Quiz on Stem and Leaf Plots also.

What do you do now game

Tuesday, more Stem and Leaf Plots

Here's a stem and leaf plot video if you want another look at how to do it:

1. First go to www.bigideasmath.com and complete the short assignment there.

Notice the Key in the bottom right corner, it shows that the tens digit stays to the left and the ones digit goes to the right.  Another example is: 56 would be 5|6  78 would be 7|8, get it?  

I’m glad you understand it now, let’s move to something else.  

Task #2

Task #5 - Challenge problems

Today go to Khan and select a new 7th grade skill and work towards mastery.  Also, complete all mastery tasks that are assigned.

State Testing and other stuff

Today is the second of two testing days in Cares classes.  For math yesterday we played a game called Take-Back-Toe.  It's a mix of mancala, backgammon, and tic-tac-toe.  There are simple rules, feel free to ask your child about it.  You can pretty much play anywhere with any objects.

In math today we are going to be using some statistical questions to play a version of family feud.  Should be interesting.

Friday is Earth Day, so no math.

Monday we'll begin the last chapter of the year focusing on probability and how to display data.

Chapter Nine Assessment

Today we completed the test on statistics from our 6th grade curriculum, the topics included:

- Mean
- Median
- Mode
- Range
- IQR
- Mean Absolute Deviation

I'll get them graded and into the gradebook as soon as I can.  Forward testing also this week, but that is only in the AM on Wednesday and Thursday.  

Some review activities and a practice test

Welcome to Friday!

We are going to do some tasks today and I'll keep the time so you know when to switch.

1. Please complete the following survey to help me make plans for the rest of the year.

CLICK HERE FOR THE SURVEY

2. www.bigideasmath.com

We are going to try the practice test, you'll find it on the Big Ideas Math website.  Just log in and start.  There should be a calculator available on the page, but if not, use the computer, a calculator from the front, or you could even use your phone.  (just remember to use the technology for educational purposes)

3. www.khanacademy.org

Go to Khan Academy and complete all mastery challenges.  If you have no challenges, choose any 6th grade skill.  We have covered about 90% of the skills so far, so you should be able to do pretty much all 6th grade skills.

4. Finally, for the final minutes you may choose your own activity (math related or logic skills) to complete the day.

Congratulations, you've just practice and worked on your math skills and are much more intelligent because of it.  Woo Hoo!

IQR

Quiz today and I'm not here!

Today we have the quiz, hopefully you did your best and I'll grade them tomorrow when I come back.  

When you are done please complete the following before moving on to other tasks:

1. Monopoly - We will not by doing any moves today, because there are some trades in the works, so I'll still honor your two turns this week, so there will be no missed turns or tasks.  

2. Next we are working on range.  Please complete the one Khanacademy task that I recommended Interquartile Range (IQR)

3. Complete any mastery challenges that you have.  

Tasks for today.

Open the document and then follow the directions.
