12/16 Prepare for Number Sense Quiz

1.  Grab a Number Sense practice packet from the guest teacher.  This will help you prepare for the Number Sense quiz tomorrow.

You may work quietly with a partner at your table group, but you may not move around the classroom.

Try at least 5 problems on every page!  Do not spend the entire period working on one page.  Practice each of the skills multiple times

Use a calculator only to check your answers!


2.  If you finish the practice packet early, grab a computer and continue working on your Ch. 5 ILP

Homework:  Continue practicing for the quiz tomorrow

12/15 Lesson 4.2.2

1.  Warm-up:  Examine the graphs from Lesson 4.2.1  Copy the T-chart (on side whiteboard) in your notebook and discuss with your team:  What similarities and differences do you note between the two graphs?

2.  Lesson 4.2.2 Proportional Relationships with Tables and Graphs
  • Objective:  I will be able to recognize a proportional relationship by looking at either a table or a graph
  • Problem 34: Graph Penny Tower data by hand
  • Problem 35: Graph using Desmos.  Answer questions on the half-sheet as a team.  Be prepared to share out your team's answers.
  • Whole class discussion:
    • How can you use a table to decide whether a relationship is proportional?
    • How can you use a graph to decide whether a relationship is proportional?
3.  Exit ticket- Did you meet the objective?
