7th period assignment 11/01/10 - due 11/03/10

When we know the area of a given square, WHY would we find the square root of the area to get the lengths of the sides of the square? Will this method work with ALL squares? Explain what finding the square root does to a number.  Give an example if you need to, but make sure you still explain the WHY in the question!

1st prd Assignment - 9/22 (due 9/24)

Choose one of the graphs below and create a story explaining the graph.  You must explain which graph you chose, include an appropriate title for the graph, establish an independent and dependent variable (explain in terms of “this depends on this”), and tell a story that relates both variables to the trend shown on the graph.  You CANNOT use any previous stories that we have used in our notes or ACE problems.  Make this an original story! This posting needs to be REALISTIC and detailed! Check your spelling and grammar. It is VERY possible that this will be a level 2 grade!

7th prd. Assignment - 9/10

At this point in our class, we have been using time as our independent (x-axis) variable - everything has been dependent on time (ex: the distance traveled depended on the time; as time went on, our distance increased). The graph below shows the results of an experiment conducted to see the relationship of 'dissolve time' and 'temperature' of salt in water. This graph now shows time on the y-axis, which indicates that it is our dependent variable. Is this possible? Explain.

(hint: Think of the variables you are dealing with when you create your explanation. I did not put a scale on this graph on purpose!)

Describe the steps you would take in making a graph to show the relationship between two related variables. Remember to explain what variables you would put on each axis and if you would connect your points with line segments.

Welcome to 8th Grade Pre Algebra!

Welcome 8th graders! You have been hearing a lot (maybe even too much!) about myself, this class, and things about our upcoming year in math.  Now I want to know everything about you - so tell me! Post a comment to this blog posting and tell me a little more about you (what you like to do outside of school, a few of your favorite things, anything about your friends/family, something unique about you, etc).  Feel free to attach a few pictures (no more than 3) if you want!
