Parents,

As the school year is coming to a close I would like to thank you all for your support in the educational progress of your child. Your children have shown tremendous growth in math and I know it would not have been possible without your steady support and at home.
In order for me to continue to grow as an educator it would be very helpful if you could answer the following questions about your child’s school experience this year.
Thank you in advance,

Last week:

It is believed that people generally gain weight in the colder months in large part due to this lack of physical activity. Lou decided to be pro‐active about this and promised himself he would exercise at least four days of every week (Sun-Sat). If Lou never wants to skip exercising on consecutive days within a calendar week, and he exercises exactly four days out of the seven, how many different workout schedules are possible for a calendar week?

ANSWER: 10 Options

 

Pre-Algebra Chapter 8 Review

Higher Order Thinking Questions - Bloom's Taxonomy

I want to clarify your chapter 8 assignment; I never meant for it to be hard to understand!  I want you to write questions (and answers) using the different verbs listed under each level of thinking.  There are six different levels of thinking, listed on the sheet. Examples of words/verbs to use in the questions for each level are also listed.

Here's an example:

Level 2: Comprehension  

Verbs: confirm, explain, relate, convert, infer, match, estimate, predict, paraphrase, describe

Question: Describe, in your own words, how you graph a line using the y-intercept and the slope.

Answer: To graph a line using the y-intercept and the slope, you first graph the y-intercept. This is the b part of the equation. It is always a point (0, ___). After you graph the y-intercept you count to the next point using the given slope. This is the m part of the equation. The top number is the rise and the bottom number is the run. For example, if the slope were 2/3, you would count up 2 and then to the right 3.


I hope this makes sense! If not, ASK ME!!!

If you run out of room on your worksheet, just use another sheet of notebook paper OR you may type your questions/answers.

In case you have miss placed your sheet here are the levels of thinking and the verbs:

Level 1: Knowledge  

Verbs: draw, identify, locate, label, select, repeat, list, record, outline, write, state

Level 2: Comprehension  

Verbs: confirm, explain, relate, convert, infer, match, estimate, predict, paraphrase, describe

Level 3: Application  

Verbs: apply, modify, build, construct, solve, report, sketch, produce

Level 4: Analysis
