 Learning Target:
Reviewed Unit Rate w/ a Warm-up


In Class:  PLEASE READ!!!!
  I (Mrs. White) was out last Friday during 4th and 6th hours.
Upon returning today, there was it was obvious that students were VERY CONFUSED regarding the notes given when I was out. There was a "miscommunication" between myself and my guest teacher, so the notes/examples for 6.1 were not very helpful. (Sorry!)  

 We will use Tuesday and possibly Wednesday to reteach the concepts: Unit Rate, Equivalent Rates, and Ratios to ensure all students understand and can solve problems with these concepts.!!!


***Most of the hour today was spent taking the Delta Math Screener***


Homework: 
(4th hour and 6th hour DO NOT have homework tonight)
 1st hour and 3rd hour, please try your best to complete these problems.
You should be able to use your notes from 6.1 in your Note Taking book to guide you.

Assignment:
pg 272:  #19 (order the ratios from least to greatest)
              #26-29 (calculate the unit rate- be sure to LABEL your unit rates!
               #33-35 (conversions)

I can write equivalent rates (convert from $/day to $/week)
                     
In Class:
Students will actively participate by providing data to complete problems related to our learning targets.

1st & 3rd hours: Bisquick Line Graph (Unit Rate)
4th & 6th hours: 6.1 Study Guide "played catch up" from last Friday

Review for Quiz 6.1 Tomorrow
                     


In Class:

1st & 3rd Hours: 
  • Reviewed Homework 
  • Some student are not showing their best effort on homework.  
  • Please show all work/steps on homework!   I also expect unit rate answers to be labeled
  • Introduced using online "Thinking Blocks" to solve proportion problems
 
4th & 6th Hours:
  • Worked a lot on graphing a "unit rate" We graphed the exchange rate between the US & Quatar
  • Did more hands on examples of rate conversion (blowing bubbles, using chopsticks)
  • Some student are not showing their best effort on homework.  Please show all work/steps on homework!   I also expect unit rate answers to be labeled.

Quiz Tomorrow!  
 
6.1 Learning Targets:
I can calculate a unit rate
I can use a unit rate to determine the "best buy"
I can describe a ratio and give examples (part:part and part:whole)
