1-2. SLEEPY TIME

How much sleep do you get at night? On a sticky dot, write the time you usually go to bed and the time you usually get up. For example, the dot below shows that a student goes to bed at 10:00 p.m. and wakes up at 6:00 a.m. On the scatter plot poster on the wall, find the time that you go to bed on the horizontal axis (the line that lies flat). Then trace straight up from that point high enough to be even with the time that you get up on the vertical axis (the line that stands straight up) and place your sticky dot on the graph.
When all the data is collected, work with your team to answer the questions below. Be sure to use the team role descriptions following this problem in your text. a. What is the most common bedtime for your class members? How can you tell?

In your own words, define the terms below. What do they mean to you? Histogram (birthday chart)

Scatter Plot (bed time)

b. Which dots represent the students who get the most sleep?

The least sleep?

How much sleep does each of these students get?

c. If you were to go to bed an hour earlier, how would your sticky dot move?

Venn Diagram (pets)

What if you were to get up an hour earlier?

d. In general, how much sleep do students in your class get? 1-3. CATS AND DOGS Do you have pets? If so, what kind? For this activity, place your initials on two sticky dots. Then place one sticky dot on the class bar graph and one on the Venn diagram (shown below right). Then answer the questions below. a. Were you able to place your dot easily on both graphs? Was there anyone who had a hard time placing their dot on either of the graphs? Explain.

Circle one of the following to show your understanding of todays lesson.

b. Is there any information that is easier to see from looking at the bar graph?

Describe two things you learned today:

The Venn diagram?

c. What kinds of information are best represented in bar graphs?

Venn diagrams?

1-4. SURVEYING THE CLASS Now you will work with your team to make up some questions to ask the class and design the graphs that will best represent the answers. Your task: Write down three questions that you could ask students in the class that will help you learn more about them. Think about a way to display the answers for each question. Then contribute your ideas to your team and, as a team, decide on your three favorite questions to ask. For each question, decide whether the answers should be shown on a histogram, a scatter plot, a bar graph, a Venn diagram, or whether there is another, better way to show the data. Try to ask questions that will give you the information you want. For example, asking Do you play sports? will get lots of yes and no answers, with no information about what types of sports people play. However, the question, What sport(s) do you play? will enable you to learn if you have soccer players, swimmers, or other athletes in your class. Some sample questions are provided below to help you get your conversations started .How many hours was the longest car or bus trip you have been on? How many cousins do you have? How did you get to school this morning? Brainstorm your 3 questions here- be sure that your questions are different from the other students around you! 1.

1-7. COLOR-RAMA Your teacher will challenge your class to a game of Color-Rama! To play, a marker will be placed on the orange space on the board below. Your class will need to select one color for your class and a different color for your teacher. Then a volunteer will flip a coin three times. If the coin lands with the + showing, the marker will move one space to the right, and if the is showing, then the marker will move one space to the left. If after three flips, the marker is on your classs color, your class wins! If it lands on a color no one picked, then no one wins. Which color should you choose? Is there a way to predict which color the marker will land on? Before you play, discuss the questions below with your team and record your answers. When talking about strategies, be sure to describe your ideas and explain your reasoning. When your class has considered all the colors, move on to problem 1-8. Does it matter which color is chosen?

What is something you GOT today that you feel really comfortable with or good about?

What is something you feel like you still NEED to know in order to understand this better?

Are all the colors equally likely to win? How can you decide?

1-8. LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE GAME If you want to win, is one color a better choice than the others? Is there a color that you should not pick? One way to answer these questions is to play the game and keep track of what happens. Your teacher will give you and a partner a Lesson 1.1.2A Resource Page and a coin with sides labeled + and . You and your partner will need a small object such as an eraser or paper clip to serve as a marker. Once you have all of your supplies, follow the directions below. a. Play the game several times and be sure to select a different color each time. Keep track of which colors win and lose each time in your interactive notebook. What do you notice?

PARKING LOT (any questions???):

b.After you and your partner have played the game at least five times, join with another pair of students to form a team and discuss the following questions: Does the color you choose seem to affect your chances of winning? Is each color choice equally likely to result in a win? Explain why or why not in as many ways as you can.

Circle one of the following to show your understanding of todays lesson.

c.Play the game a few more times. Do your results seem to confirm your answers from part (b) above?

1-9. PLAYING THE GAME Now is the moment you have been waiting for! As a class, choose two colors (one for your class, one for your teacher) that you think will improve the classs chance of beating the teacher.

a.Is there any color you could choose that would guarantee that you would win this game every time that you played? Explain why or why not.

b.Is there a color that would guarantee that you would not win? Explain why or why not.

For the following questions, rank them on a scale of 1-5, 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. Circle one.

1-10. What makes a game fair? Discuss this question with your partner and then think about whether there is a way to change the rules of Color-Rama to make it a fair game. What are changes to the rules that you would recommend?

Circle one of the following to show your understanding of todays lesson.

1-28. Rowena and Polly still cannot agree about who has more of the others item. Rowena is still sure that Polly got more of her raisins, and Polly is sure that Rowena got more of her peanuts. In order to make sense of what happened, they decided to try a simpler experiment. Rowena got a cup of 10 red beans, and Polly got a cup of 10 white beans. Polly gave 3 white beans to Rowena, and Rowena stirred them into her red ones. Then she closed her eyes and chose 3 beans from her mixture at random to give back to Polly. The girls then examined each cup. a.Try their experiment a few times with a partner. What happens each time? Trial 1 what happened?

How many pennies could Gigi have?__________________________________

1-73. What can you learn about a number from its rectangular arrays? Consider this question as you answer the questions below. a.A number that can be arranged into more than one rectangular array, such as Anns in part (b) of problem 1-72, is called a composite number. List all composite numbers less than 15. __________________________________________________ b.Consider the number 17, which could be Gigis number. Seventeen pennies can be arranged into only one rectangular array:1 penny by 17 pennies. Any number, like 17, that can form only one rectangular array is called a prime number. Work with your team to find all prime numbers less than 25.

Describe two things you learned today:

__________________________________________________
1-74. Jenny, Ann, and Gigi were thinking about odd and even numbers. (When even numbers are divided by two, there is no remainder. When odd numbers are divided by two, there is a remainder of one.) Jenny said, Odd numbers cannot be formed into a perfect rectangle with two rows. Does that mean they are prime? Consider Jennys question with your team. Are all odd numbers prime? If so, explain how you know. If not, find a counterexample (in this case, a number that is odd but is not prime).

All of the prime numbers show up only two times as products in the table, and they are always on the edges. Discuss Glorias observation with your team. Then choose one color to mark all of the prime numbers. Why does the placement of the prime numbers make sense?

1-86. Using the multiplication table, work with your team to find patterns, as described below. a.Glorias observation in problem 1-85 related to prime numbers. What other kinds of numbers do you know about? Work with your team to brainstorm a list of kinds of numbers you have discussed. (You may want to look back at Lesson 1.2.3 to refresh your memory.)

Would 36 appear more times in this larger table? If so, how many more times and where? If not, how can you be sure?

Describe two things you learned today:

c.List all of the factor pairs of 36. (A factor pair is a pair of numbers that multiply to give a particular product. For example, 2 and 10 make up a factor pair of 20, because 2 !10 = 20 .) How do the factor pairs of 36 relate to where it is found in the table? What does each factor pair tell you about the possible rectangular arrays for 36?

1-88. What does the frequency (the number of times an item appears) of a number in the table tell you about the rectangular arrays that are possible for that number? a.Gloria noticed that the number 12 appears as a product 6 times in the table. She wonders,Shouldnt there be 6 different rectangular arrays for 12? What do you think? Work with your team to draw all of the different rectangular arrays for 12 in your notebook and explain how they relate to the table.

b.How many rectangular arrays does the number 48 have? How many times would it appear as a product in a table as big as the classroom? Is there a relationship between these answers?
c.How many rectangular arrays does the number 36 have?_________ How many times would it appear as a product in a table as big as the room? Does the pattern you noticed for 12 and 48 apply to 36? If so, why does this make sense? If not, why is 36 different?

1-107. TAKING A CENSUS, Part One Every ten years, the United States government performs a census, which is a collection of data that describes the people living in the country. With this massive undertaking, the government strives to learn many things about the people living in the United States, such as how the population is changing, where people live, what structures of families exist, and what languages are spoken. For example, in the year 2000, there were 281,421,906 people surveyed for the census, roughly 8,000,000 of whom lived in New York, NY. What is the size of a typical family for the students in your math class? Your task: Obtain one sticky note for each person in your team. On your sticky note, write down the number of people in your immediate family and place your sticky note above the appropriate number on the class bar graph. Then work with your class to consider the following questions: What is the difference between the largest and smallest piece of data in your class? This difference is called the range.

What number falls right in the middle of all the class data when the data is sorted in order? This number is called the median.

a.What are the data values for each of the two teams?

b. As you look at the 60-second data for the two class experiments in the double stem-and-leaf, what do you notice about the two sets of data? Discuss this with your team and then write down three observations you can make. Be ready to explain your observations to the class.

1-118. Find the range and the mode for each set of data from your two 60-second experiments. Then find the median for each of them using either the double stem-and-leaf plot or the histograms. a.Write down these results.

What is something you GOT today that you feel really comfortable with or good about?

1.3.2 Range____________ Mode ______________ Median _______________

1.3.3 Range____________ Mode ______________ Median _______________ b.Compare the range, mode, and median of the two sets of data. What do you notice? Discuss this with your team and then write down three observations you can make. Be ready to explain your observations to the class.

What is something you feel like you still NEED to know in order to understand this better?

2. 3. 1-119. COMPUTING THE MEAN use notebook as needed In problem 1-108, you found the mean number of cubes in the class by sharing cubes fairly among all students. How can this method translate into a mathematical strategy? One way to share cubes evenly would be for all of the students to put their cubes together into one big pile and then to redistribute all the cubes in the pile evenly among the students. a.How could you use numbers and symbols to represent what happens when everyone puts all of their cubes together? b.How could you use numbers and symbols to represent what happens when the big pile is distributed evenly among all of the people? c.As you have discovered, one way to calculate the mean for a set of data is to add all of the data together (like combining all of the cubes) and then divide by the number of pieces of data (like distributing the cubes evenly among all of the people). Calculate the mean for todays 60-second data. Be sure to record your work carefully. d.Now calculate the mean of the data you collected in the first 60-second experiment.
