Last weeks surveying adventure was awesome...many of our scholars were initially nervous and unenthusiastic. Once we got out in the community we had a great time. We met lots of different people (our sample) who all wanted to share their opinions. We asked them questions created the day before by the three classes and went to places on the map to which the students justified their choice of location. We compiled our data and will be created circle graphs regarding the results and will use the information to support a street being named after our compelling characters.
This week we have a TEST on Tuesday. It will cover percents, surveying methods and circle graphs.

Week of November 16 - 20th
A FULL WEEK!
This is a pretty exciting week in Math class. We get to work on our part of the 7th grade expedition...The Road to Freedom: Rochester's Compelling Characters.
We will learn what makes a good survey, what a sample is, what types of sampling methods there are and how to create an unbiased question. We will create our own survey that we hope we can use to support our proposal to rename a street in Rochester. We will be interviewing the Rochester Public on Wednesday, and use that data to compile circle graphs. Should be a fun filled week.
Students were given Progress Reports on Monday the 16th. The homework return rate has gone way down!

We will take a little break from Math on Monday and Tuesday to do research on our compelling heroes. Thursday will be CENTERS day where we will work on components of a circle graph...angles, percents, fractions! Friday we disect word problems and begin to think about Interview questions for our expedition.
PLAY THE ALIEN ANGLE GAME!!!
