In today's Investigation, students explored creating a table from a graph and then interpreting data from both sources. Having an understanding of the benefits and disadvantages to analyzing data from both a table and a graph are essential pieces to 7th grade math this year! These questions will appear many times throughout this topic, as well as, later in the school year. So, be sure you have a solid idea of why each organizational tool is effective and not so effective when analyzing data. Challenge math went a step further today to talk about the pros and cons of using narrative form in data collection and description.

Tomorrow classes will begin Investigation 2. In this Investigation students will continue analyzing data with the use of graphs and tables. They will be thinking of ways to help our 5 friends: Celia, Sidney, Liz, Malcolm, and Theo make their bike tour business the most success possible!


Reminders:

Students need to be sure to come to class prepared (every day) with their graph paper, pencil, book, and binder (and any homework or papers that need to be turned in). If students continue to arrive unprepared, a phone call will be made home and students will be issued a detention.

Today's homework:
Hours 3-8 ONLY: p. 13 A-F

Tomorrow is an early release day and we will have a shortened schedule! We are having a FUN assembly at the beginning of the day!!! I'm so pumped about the FUN FUN FUN activities we will be doing...hope you will like it!!! :-)

Also: remember to...
~Redo any assignments necessary (you have one week to redo work in math)
~KEEP STUDYING THOSE MATH FACTS...you could have another timed test any day now :-) :-) :-)

Question of the Day: The maximum speed of a zebra is 40 miles per hour. At this speed, how long would it take the zebra to run one mile?

Good luck my savvy students!!! Remember, the first student to answer the Question of the Day correctly will get a small prize from me the next day! :-)
