Unit 1, Activity 2, Grouping Dilemma with answers


Circle or loop groups of tiles that will help determine the total number of tiles without counting each and every tile. Beneath each tile pattern, write a mathematical expression that represents the ‘looping’ used to determine the number of tiles.

Expression to represent grouping 3 x 3 + 2 x 3= 15

Expression to represent grouping (3 x 4) + 3= 15

Expression to represent grouping (4 x 4)-1 = 15

Expression to represent grouping 4 + 4 + 4 + 3 = 15

Expression to represent grouping (2 x 3) + (2 x 3) + 3= 15

Expression to represent grouping (2 x 4 – 1) + 2 x 4= 15

Expression to represent grouping (2 x 2) + (2 x 2) + (2 x 2) + 2 x 2 -1)= 15

Unit 1, Activity 5, Missing with Answers


1. Samantha is 75 feet from the shore at 10 a.m. Every hour she moves forward 15 feet,

and the current pulls her backward 6 feet. At this rate, what time will Samantha reach the shore? Explain your solution.

Solution: 6:12 p.m.- since she gains about 9 feet every hour 75 ÷ 9 = 8 hours plus three feet left. Set a proportion 15ft/3ft = 9 ft/x to find the part of an hour the 3 feet would take. I came up with 1/5 of an hour and that is 12 minutes.

2. There are six boys in a race. Carl is ahead of Bill who is two places behind Frank. Allen is two places ahead of Dwight, who is two places ahead of Evan. Evan is last. Which of the boys is closest to the finish line? Explain your solution.

Solution: Carl is closest to the finish line. Carl is first, Allen second (two places ahead of Dwight), Frank is third(two places ahead of Bill), Dwight is fourth, Bill is fifth (two people behind Frank), and Evan last (two places behind Dwight.

3. A group of students have gathered around the center circle of the basketball court. The students are evenly spaced around the circle. Student #11 is directly across from student #27. How many students have gathered around the circle? Explain your solution.

Solution: 32 students. Sketch a model to get an idea as to positioning. There are 15 students between #11 and #27 and the median from 12 to 26 is 19. The opposite side had to increase from 27 but also decrease from 11 to 1. Listing these numbers and then finding the median gives me the opposite person. Listing the numbers also gives the number of people in the circle.)

Have the students examine problems like the ones below and discuss how these are different from the earlier problems (They are missing information.).

• The world record high dive is 176 feet 10 inches. What is the difference between Jack’s highest dive and the world record? We need to know the height of Jack’s dive.

• Mary wants to find the amount of carpet needed to carpet her bedroom. She measures the length of the room. How much carpet does she need to carpet the bedroom? She needs the width of the room.

• Greg Louganis holds 17 U. S. national diving records. How many of these did he earn before the 1988 Olympics? We need to know when he earned these 17 records.

Cap: Original Price: $18.75 now 25% off

Jester’s hat: now sells for $15.00 After receiving

41 off the original

price

Shoes: Now selling for $25.95 after a 30% discount

Unit 1, Activity 9, How Much. . . About? with answers


How Much . . . About?

Answer Key

Estimate: 15% x $20 = $3 Sweater

$20 - $3 = $17 Actual: 15% x $22.95 = $3.44 $22.95 - $3.44 = $19.51 With Tax: $19.51 x 7.5% = $1.46 $19.51 + %1.46 = $20.97

Estimate: 25% x $20 = $5 Cap

$20 - $5 = $15 Actual: 25% x $18.75 = $4.69 $18.75 - $4.69 = $14.06 With Tax: 7.5% x $14.06 = $1.05 $14.06 + $1.05 = $15.11

Estimate: ¾ x ___ = $15 Jester’s Hat

¾ ÷ ¾ x ___ = $15 ÷ ¾ ___ = $20 * Since the new price reflects a ¼ discount, that means you are actually paying ¾ of the original price. Actual: ¾ x ___ = $15 ¾ ÷ ¾ x ___ = $15 ÷ ¾ ___ = $20 Check: ¼ x $20 = $5 $20 – 5 = $15 With Tax: 7.5% x $15 = $1.13 $15 + $1.13 = $16.13

Estimate: 70% x ___ = $30 Shoes

70% ÷ 70% x ___ = $30 ÷ 70% ___ = $40 Actual: 70% x ___ = $25.95 70% ÷ 70% x ___ = $25.95 ÷ 70% ___ = $37.07 * Since the new price reflects a 30% discount, that means you are actually paying 70% of the original price. With Tax: 7.5% x $25.95 = $1.95 $25.95 + $1.95 = $27.90

With the 30% discount off of $79.98 the sale price would be $55.99, so Store B is the better buy at $55.00.

Work with your partner to complete these problems. Make scale drawings of the figures in problems 1 – 3, and label sides of the right triangle that are being used to solve the problem. Problem 4 has a diagram already drawn for you. 1. James has a circular trampoline with a diameter of 16 feet. Will this trampoline fit through a

doorway that is 10 feet high and 6 feet wide? Explain your answer. Since the trampoline is larger than the height of the doorway, it would have to be held at a diagonal. The trampoline will not fit into the doorway because the diagonal of the doorway is approximately 11.7 ft. 2. A carpenter measured the length of a rectangular table top he was building to be 26 inches,

the width to be 12 inches, and the diagonal to be 30 inches. Explain whether or not the carpenter can use this information to determine if the corners of the tabletop are right angles.

If the angles are right angles, 30 inches should be the diagonal when the Pythagorean Theorem is applied to the sides.

How long will the brace need to be for the frame at the right? The widths of the two end boards should not be used when bracing. Therefore, the horizontal distance is 36 inches and the brace would be about 102.5 inches or 8.5 feet.

Unit 4, Activity 7, Comparing Cones


Name ______________________________ Date ________________ Hour _____________ Cut out the Model for Cone BLM and make a slit for the radius. Form a cone by sliding point ‘L’ so that it touches point ‘A’. Measure the approximate diameter of the cone formed. Measure the approximate height of the cone formed. Record this information on the chart. Complete the table below by sliding point ‘L’ of the circle so that it lies on top of the points listed in the table. Use your centimeter ruler to measure the approximate diameter of the cone formed and the approximate height. (As you begin to make the cones from L to F and smaller diameters, it is easier to form the cone if a section is cut off the circle by cutting from point D to the center. This reduces the amount of the paper inside the cone.)

The alligator at the left is a 10-foot alligator. What is the scale used in the drawing? Explain. 2 1/8” = 10’ Place a point on the graph above to represent the number of projected bites from an alligator of this length.

between 1 and 2 bites Give approximate dimensions of a rectangular prism or solid that could be used to transport this gator. Explain why your dimensions will create a box to contain this gator Answers will vary depending on how thick they think an alligator is. A reasonable answer would include the 10’ for the length. A student might measure the width of the alligator in the picture

(approximately21 ”) and use the proportion

'10"125.2"5. x

2. Samantha’s bicycle tire has a diameter of 65 centimeters. She figured the circumference was about 204 centimeters. She used a counter on her front bicycle tire that counts each time the tire makes one rotation to determine the distance she traveled. The counter said 106 when she stopped. She decided that she had traveled 204,000,000 cm but her calculator said 2.04 x 108. Use your calculators to determine how the calculator representation relates to Samantha’s or give an example of how Samantha’s calculator represents 204 million centimeters.

Create a table of values, write equations, sketch a graph and identify the rate of change for the situations. Tell whether the rate of change is constant or varying and explain how you know.

1. Sam gets $5.75 an hour for babysitting his baby brother.

Constant rate of change—we added 5.75 to each ‘y’ value each time.

2. Roderick’s mom gives him $2 for the first hour of babysitting and then doubles his pay each hour he baby-sits.

Rate of change varies each time—we add a different number to the ‘y’ value each time.

3. Ellen walks every day. It takes her fifteen minutes to walk one mile, 30 minutes to walk 2 miles, 45 minutes to walk 3 miles, etc.

Constant rate of change—we added 15 each time.

4. Denise started a science experiment measuring the growth of a bean plant. The plant grew 2 inches the first week, 9 inches the second week and 16 inches the third week.

Constant rate of change—we subtracted 7 each time.

1. The plot at the right shows the number of questions that were correctly answered on a 40 question social studies test. Explain what you know about the results of the test from the box-and-whiskers plot.

The box-and-whiskers plot shows that the minimum number of questions missed was 0 because at least one person got 40 correct. 50% of the class missed between 6 and 18 questions on the test, and the median was 21 questions missed. The 25% that scored high were closer scores than the 25% that scored in the lower quartile.

2. The plot at the left shows the results of try-outs for the marathon swim team. The participants had to swim laps of the pool until they were too tired. Explain the results shown in the plot.

The results show that 50% of the people got tired after 17 laps. The median was 17 laps, and there must have been a large gap between the people that swam between 19 and 25 laps, because the upper quartile shows a range of 8 laps. The least number of laps anyone swam was 10 laps.

1. Susie wants to display the amount of money spent each month on snacks. She wants her display to be used to find the median and the range of money spent on snacks. Which type of data display will be appropriate? Explain.

She can use a stem and leaf plot, a line plot, or a box-and-whiskers plot . The box and whiskers will easily show the median and range because they are data points. The line plot and the stem and leaf both show individual data values chronologically and can be used to find the mean and range.

2. Mrs. Smith wants the students to show the test scores for the class, arranged in intervals.

Which type of data display will be appropriate? Explain.

The plot that shows intervals is the histogram.

3. Jerrika wants to show that the heights of students in her class are related to their shoe size. Which type of data display will be appropriate? Explain.

A scatterplot compares two variables and would be best.

4. Coach wants to display the number of 2-point shots scored by individual members of the

basketball team as compared to the whole team through the first half of the season. Which type of data display will be appropriate? Explain.

A circle graph would compare the parts to the whole with percentages of the whole.

I left home walking at a steady pace, and then I sped up before stopping to rest. I started walking again before I looked at my watch and realized I had better get home soon.

I began to run water for my dog’s bath when I realized the water was a little too warm. I let the water cool off briefly before putting the dog into the water and bathing him. The dog got out of the tub, and I let the water out.

Unit 7, Activity 11, Situations to Graphs


Situations 1 – 6 for one group (remind them not to use numbers on their graphs because they will want another group to match the graph and situation)

1. She walked slowly for 3 seconds. Then she stood still for 4 seconds. Suddenly, during the last 3 seconds, she went quite fast.

2. She ran fast for 3 seconds, then slowly for 4 seconds. I took her 5 seconds to return to her starting point.

3. He waited for 4 seconds before starting to walk slowly. He walked for a few seconds and then stopped.

4. She left home running really fast. She went at that rate for 3 seconds, but then she realized that she had forgotten her book. She stopped for a couple of seconds to decide what to do. Then she decided that it would be too late anyway, so she went back home slowly.

5. From his house to the corner store is 10 meters. He ran to the store, spent 1 second looking at the CLOSED sign, and walked slowly back to his house.

6. She decided to cross the park walking slowly at first but going faster and faster each step. It took her 5 seconds to get to the other side.

Situations 7 - 12 for one group (remind them not to use numbers on their graphs because they will want another group to match the graph and situation)

7. He was going home, not in a rush. As he stepped into the street, he realized that a car was coming. He waited for the car, then ran across the street. As soon as he got to the other side of the street, he walked slowly again.

8. At first the old man walked very slowly, as if he were tired. Suddenly, when he was next to us, he started to run amazingly fast. After a few seconds he stopped and walked back to say, “I surprised you, didn’t I?”

9. The dog ran off to catch the stick that his owner had thrown. As the dog grabbed the stick, he saw a rabbit. The dog held very still for a moment. Then, instead of running back to his owner, he crept very slowly toward the rabbit. When the dog was close to the rabbit, he jumped forward at great speed.

10. First she went fast, at a steady pace. Then, at around 5 meters, she started to slow down. She went slower and slower until she stopped. She stood still for 4 seconds. Finally she walked slowly and steadily for a while.

11. Trying not to wake anyone up, she walked very slowly with small steps. Once she got to the door, she began to run faster and faster. After 3 seconds of running, she stopped and sat down.

12. Imagine someone walking back and forth two times between the chalkboard and her desk. She always walks quickly toward the board and slowly toward the desk. At the end, she stands for 3 seconds.

Name _______________________________________ Date _____________ Hour _________ Solve the following.

1. Samantha can watch only 50 hours of television every fourteen days. On school nights she can watch television for no more than 3 hours. Make a table showing possible numbers of hours that Samantha watches television each night. Use at least 4 different lengths of time she watches television each day in your table.

a. What are the mean, median and mode of the length of time Samantha watches television in 14 days?

b. Will the mean, median and/or mode be the same no matter what the list of hours as long as the total is 50 hours? Explain your answer.

2. The set of numbers below represents the number of pets that each student in Mr. Daily’s homeroom has at home.

7, 7, 3, 0, 8, 4, 3, 0, 0, 1, 2, 7, 0, 7, 4, 1, 0, 2, 4, 2, 3 a. Add one number to the data that will increase the mean so that it is greater than the

median of the data for Mr. Daily’s class. Explain how you know your choice satisfies the requirements.

b. Which of these measures of central tendency would best represent the number of pets that the students have in Mr. Daily’s class? Explain why.

3. Grace counted the number of blooms on each of the rose bushes in her grandmother’s

garden. The number of blooms on each of the bushes are listed below. 10, 15, 11, 14, 12, 10, 15, 11, 12, 13, 14

a. When Grace showed her grandmother the mean average of the number of blooms was about 12 ½ blooms, her grandmother said that it could not be true because she had determined the mean average number of blooms to be 20 blooms. She asked Grace if she had checked the one bush on the back side of the garage. Find the number of blooms that the one remaining rose bush must have had if grandmother were correct.

Unit 8, Activity 9, Who Did It?


Name ___________________________________________ Hour_________ Devise a plan to sample contents of the bags without replacement in order to make the best prediction based on experimental probability without looking at the contents of the bags. When samples are examined without replacement, the sample size is constantly changing. Suppose a red tile is selected from Bag A on the first selection, a red tile from Bag B on the first selection, a green tile from Bag 3 on the first selection and a red tile from Bag 4 on the first selection. Based on the information collected so far, can a good prediction be made as to the matching bags? 1. Students record their results in the chart below by placing the color drawn from each bag and

make a prediction after the 6th selection from each bag, justifying which bag would be identical to Bag A.

2. Are six trials or draws enough to give enough information to make a valid prediction? Why

or why not? 3. Do all four bags have to be completely empty to make a valid prediction? Explain your
