Math homework this week:
This is yet another state testing week for our students at Larrabee!
Because I want them to have lots of energy, I want students to take the 20-30 minutes that they would normally have as homework and instead go to bed 20-30 minutes earlier... or read 20-30 minutes more... or spend 20-30 minutes more talking with their parents or playing card or board games with their parents and siblings as a family.
Take the time to destress the home and help your child be well rested.
Cheers!

Homework during testing...
Okay... MSP season is upon us and I wish I'd remembered to post this earlier. Sorry for any miscommunications.
On Monday my students had a graphing homework assignment [link]. But what about for the rest of this week and next week?
Nothing from me. I won't assign homework during the testing window because I want students to take that time out from math homework and use it to go to bed a little earlier... or eat a little healthier... or relax and read with their family.
So no math homework from me until Monday 5/16/2011.

5/2/2011 Tonight's Homework
I forgot to hand out planners this morning. So I'm going to post the homework assignment here.
Today in class the students collected data comparing two things (like right hand length vs. left hand length). They collected this data for each kid in the class.Their homework tonight is:
Today in class the students collected data comparing two things (like right hand length vs. left hand length). They collected this data for each kid in the class.Their homework tonight is:
- Graph your data [centimeter paper].
- Describe your data:
For each half of your graph (top and bottom) calculate the range, find the mode, and find the median [math dictionary]. - Analyze your data:
Does your graph say the two things are different, or does the graph say the two things are the same? What does the range, the median, the mode, or the shape of the data tell you about the two things you measured?.

No homework tonight but...
Students could take the time to show you their assignment on Edmodo that we are working on in class.
They explain to you about the range of data and the mode of their data.

Present Topic: Data Descriptions
We are learning to collect information and to describe key points -- or benchmarts -- in the data set. The points we are learning to identify are the RANGE (the least value to the greatest value), the MODE (the most frequent value), and the MEDIAN (the centre-most value).
