  1. Starter 10/19/12 Think about a mile. How long do you think it is? If we started at UPCS, how far down Main St would a mile be? Towards downtown (right)? Towards the other way (left)? Pick a landmark or business you think is a mile away in both directions. Now, what about 1 kilometer? How far do you think that is? Again, pick a landmark or business you think is a kilometer away in both directions.

  2. Starter 10/22/12 On Friday we looked at how far away a mile was from UPCS. We found the YMCA is about a mile down Main St. If Kilby Street is one kilometer down Main St, which is bigger: a mile or a kilometer? How many miles would fit into one kilometer? How many kilometers would fit into one mile? Our walk (or run!) on Friday took various groups different times to do (those of you that kept time like I asked!). One group finished the mile in 16 minutes, another in 17 minutes and 58 seconds and a third in 10 minutes and 23 seconds. IF I then said we were going to walk (or run!) 3 miles (which we’re not), how long would it take those same groups? What about only half a mile? One quarter of a mile?

  5. Starter 10/23/12 Take out your graph notebooks and update your table of contents: 9/5/12 Good group work agreement 9/5/12 (2) POW write up standard 9/25/12 Real number operation notes 10/23/12 “It’s how far?!” Part 1 – Graph Get out your worksheets from yesterday. Read over the Part 1 instructions again. The first student to draw our axes we will be using for Part 1 on the board gets a pumpkin muffin – WITH LABELS AND THE SCALE ON BOTH AXES (This is the graph I drew for you at the end of class yesterday on the board) – Do not kill each other trying to do this. Then no one gets it.

  6. Exit Slip 10/23/12 The last word…. In this investigation, you used several ways to find missing values- approximating with a graph, calculating with a rate, solving an equation, and searching a table. Briefly summarize what you did with each of these methods and then describe which of these methods you preferred and why.

  7. Entrance Slip 10/24/12 Nassau (in the Bahamas) is 1227.7 miles away from Worcester. How many kilometers is it from Worcester? Madrid, Spain is 5440 kilometers away from Worcester. How many miles is it from Worcester? Out of these 17 places we’ve now done conversions for (15 are in the table on your worksheet and there are two above on this slide = Nassau and Madrid ), which vacation do you think Ms. Mattarazzo should go on and why? You can see she’s already been to the Grand Canyon and Portsmouth  Portsmouth, New Hampshire Grand Canyon, Arizona
