We had our commencing Digging for Data math lesson and students looked at both their rights and obligations as we embark. This math curriculum focuses heavily on discussion, defense of one's thinking, and writing about concepts. Today, students collected data on their writing rate. Each student completed three trials counting the number of times they could write "rate" in one minute. We used this data to understand the concept of the median in a group of numbers and how if can be used when looking for a "typical" result in a set of output data.
Students also looked at examples and tips and tried their hand at some word and figural analogies as a connection to being logical thinkers. Finally, we learned some at home techniques for dusting for fingerprints. Next week we will check the prints we uncovered with our suspect samples to determine the culprit in The Case of the Sugar Shaker!
I got carried away and dropped the ball on photographing our favorite models today. Sorry!
