Quotes overheard during today's performance task:
  • "It has to start at zero, there's no such thing as negative one boxes."
  • "Would the number of boxes be the independent variable since that controls the total area?"
  • From one student to her team: "What is an outlier?" Answer from teammate: "It's just a point that doesn't fit in with the rest."

Friday: 


1) Tests returned
2) Folder clean out
3) PT: Winter is Over
  • Very do-able in one class period, but students will present on Monday
  • Using uni-link blocks to represent the boxes allowed for finding surface areas and volumes to go quickly since students could count each side as one.
  • I introduced the vocabulary word "Bivariate Data" prior to the lesson and the word "Outlier" during the lesson, once students started discussing it.

Thursday: Test over unit 5
