Research Project

Today you will be looking for a topic for your final project and begin gathering information to construct your lesson. Use the link below to determine the topic of you choice. Make sure to approve it with me before you begin researching the topic. Here is a link to our book so you can see all of the topics we have covered.

You may also use the blog to request students create lessons that you may be struggling with. Someone else has a pulse on what you need to know ask them to think about using it for their topic. :-)

See me for any help in determining or researching your topic. I will be providing a rubric and a checklist of needed items for you Monday.

What's In a Pattern

Today you have two tasks.

1. You are going to your web page and downloading your POW. Please read the instructions and then send your answers to our class e-mail. (mathclasshonors@yahoo.com) Remember you will have to use your e-mail account. I will post your responses on the web page in a power point so you can see your work and others work.

Right click here and open your web page in a new page or new tab.

2. Visit the wiki and add to your page "Two Stage Equations." Last week gave you just enough time to get logged in and started. Please complete your posts as I will be grading your work over the three day weekend. (Remember the Wiki link is on the Home Page. It is on the left side navigation bar.)

Have fun.

Filling Glasses

If we were to fill a glass with water at a constant rate (for example, 1 cubic inch per minute), we could graph the height of the water in the glass as time goes by.

Suppose we fill the three glasses below in such a manner. Match up each glass with the graph that best describes the height of the water in the glass over time.

Explain why you matched each graph with each glass. Why do you think they belong together?

Extra Credit: Describe, or draw the glass in paint, that would correspond to the leftover graph.

MATCH THE GLASSES TO THE GIVEN GRAPHS

Here are extra credit winners. They did draw the final glass correctly. Although there were many submissions, everyone seemed to forget the glass needed to come back in at the top.
