TGIF! It’s the beginning of Cycle 4. Can you believe it? Get out your camping gear, because we’re going camping next week. In Math, we’re learning about data and graphs. Don’t forget to study for our first quiz of the year which will be next Tuesday. Here are highlights for this cycle:
Day 1, Sept. 6-Today we went over the vocabulary for 2-3 and 2-4. We also shared our Math in the News.
Homework: p.72 #6-24 even, p.76 #5-14 All Due Day 2
Day 2, Sept. 9-Today we will have 45 minute classes, because after lunch we’ll be learning how to put up and take down our tents for imu workshop. In Math we will learn how to use spreadsheets to organize data. Also, we’ll review for the math quiz about lessons 2-1 to 2-5.
Homework: No Homework!
Day 3, Sept. 10-Today we will take a Checkpoint Quiz on lessons 2-1 to 2-5. Also, we will learn about stem-and-leaf plots.
Homework: p.82 #6-24 even; p.85 Checkpoint Quiz 1; 1st Quarter Math goal and action plan Due Day 6
Day 4, Sept. 11-Today we will go to our Imu Workshop Prep. field trip. No core classes! We will gather pohaku for the imu and do various service projects. If you can, bring ti leaves tomorrow so we can use them when we make laulau at imu workshop.
Homework: Pack for imu workshop; Bring ti leaves Due Day 5
Day 5, Sept. 12-Today we will go to Imu Workshop. We will prepare the imu, light it, and put the pig inside. We will also share what we did at our service activity and hopefully do some stargazing.
Homework: Imu Workshop reflection Due Day 6
Day LN, Sept. 13-Today we will take the pig out of the imu and make kalua pig. It will be an ono lunch. Take good notes, because you will use your notes the following week in Social Studies.
Homework: Imu Workshop reflection Due Day 6
Day 6, Sept. 16-Today we will set goals for the year that will be shared at parent-student-teacher conference. We will also learn about misleading graphs and statistics and review for Checkpoint Quiz 2.
Homework: p.89 #6-21 All Due Cycle 5 Day 1
Extra pono points: What is one thing you have learned in Math so far this year?
H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y !
Thank you, Kiana! I hope you had a nice weekend. 🙂
One thing that I learned so far in 6th grade math is about the effect that outliers have on the mean. If the outlier is smaller, the mean decreases. If the outlier is bigger, the mean increases.
What do we need to do for Day 5’s homework? I don’t remember you giving us anything for that.
One thing I learned is that before I never knew what an outlier was and then I learned that it was a number in a data set that is either much greater or much less than all the other numbers in the rest of the set.
One thing I learned so far in math is that formulas are made with the names of the different cells. For instance, if a question was to write a formula based on the total of all of cells B and C. So the problem would be answered with the letter the numbered column. The equation will be like this for every number in the equation. Ex. B2+B3+B4+C2+C3+C4=?
how to calculate mean, median and modes
I learned how to make a cell graph. So cool 🙂
I learned about all different types of graphs I can make and how to make them
