Focus Work: Integers

Today we are going to go back to our work with integers. 

We're going to notice the patterns that happen with the numbers.

After this activity, I hope that you feel like you better understand how to add and subtract integers because they follow a pattern. 

(One thing that can be hard is "writing" the numbers with the mouse pad.  You'll get the hang of it pretty quickly)

Proportional Relationships Remix

We've been looking at proportional relationships on a graph.

The last time we met Dan and Marcellus, the graphing parts at the end were really challenging.
I'm curious to see if you find that those activities at the end make more sense now. 

First go here:

When finished with the Marcellus the giant task, you may try this one also, which is even more challenging:

Graphing Pt. VI

Parabolas!  puh-RA-bo-la

These are another type of graph that describes things that curve--for example, the path of anything in flight.

Graphing Pt. V

Today you will plot the location of points in the four quadrants. But these aren't just any points! Click through to find out...

Graphing Pt. IV

Recently we've been graphing lines that have curves--lines that were not linear or proportional.

 Today we are going to graph some linear relationships, but these are not obvious linear relationships.

What does the graph of a linear relationship look like?

Graphing Stories Pt. III

Water Line Graphs

The graphs you'll try and create today are slightly more complicated than the Carnival graphs you made last week.  If you want to look back at your Carnival graphs, you can go back to that link from that post.

Do you remember what happened to your distance vs time graph of the bumper car when it crashed?
Why did that happen?

Graphing Stories

On Friday, you made graphs of situations related to a carnival.  Think about the Cannon Man video.

What were you measuring about Cannon Man?  (Hint: what was the independent variable, and what was the dependent variable?)

Today, you'll get more practice graphing stories that are NOT proportional.  Also, these are trickier.

Function Carnival

This year, in 7th grade, we talked a lot about proportional relationships and constant of proportionality.

Next year, in 8th grade, you'll learn about other types of relationships that, when you graph them, are NOT straight lines and DO NOT pass through the origin and DO NOT increase or decrease at a constant rate.

What types of patterns do you know of in your life or in the world that do not have a constant increase?

Nominations for Mathematician of the Year

From "What makes a Mathematician:"

-Mathematicians are people of all ages and from all over the world who enjoy the challenge of a problem, who see the beauty in a pattern, a shape, a proof, a concept.  

-Mathematicians are able to communicate complicated math ideas to those who do not yet understand.

Who in your class do you think exhibits these qualities? Nominate one person who you think deserves to be your class's mathematician of the year.

Instructions for Temperature Activity

1) Use google maps to choose two cities to study. You should choose two cities you think will have similar weather. (2 min)

2) Go to weather.com. Put in first city. Go to “Monthly” weather. Choose to compare EITHER the daily high or daily low.  The daily high will be the higher number each day. Record these numbers in a table. (5 min)

3) Repeat process for your other city. USE THE SAME DATES. (5 min)

4) Calculate the mean, median, and mode for each. (6 min)


5) Answer questions #3 and #4. (6 min)
