GoalMake the largest number possible by drawing numbers 0-9 out of a bag.

Exploration

✤ What if you are trying to get the largest number and the first number drawn is a 4? Where should you put it? Why?

✤ How many different two digit numbers are possible if the two digits cannot be 0? How would you figure this out without writing every possibility? How do you you know you have them all?

Quick Strategy: Be less helpful.

✤ Think about all the scaffolding you provide.

✤ Take that scaffolding away.

✤ Provide it if they need it.

Practice StandardCreate scaled picture graphs, scaled bar graphs, and frequency tables to represent a data set-including data collected through observations, surveys, and experiments.

Solve one and two step “how many more and how many less” problems regarding the data and make predictions based on the data.
