"Music Cafe" by USAG Vicenza
Presentations, Performances, and Preparedness 
Reflection Blog Post Assignment
As you enjoy today's performances at the Music Cafe at the CLA we invite you to think about presentations, performances, and preparedness in your own life. Think about some events where you feel like you are "performing". It could be at school, on a team, at work, with an organization, doing something you enjoy publicly, or in a group. 

  1. Comment on the performances you saw today:**
    • What stood out to you? 
    • What did you like?
  2. Describe a performance experience of your own:
    • In a few sentences describe your performance experience
    • explain what makes it feel like a "performance" 
    • explain how you feel about "performing" in that context
  3. Describe how you usually prepare:
    • Explain the things you do, or have done in the past leading up to a "performance" - think about your mental, emotional, physical, and possibly even spiritual preparation
  4. Describe a way in which you would like to "perform" better, and how you will prepare to get there
    • Explain something specific you would like to improve on
    • Suggest a specific plan, or steps you could take to improve the way you perform or the way you prepare
**If you did not see the performances you can instead comment on two articles you've read on performance or preparing for something. We suggest you find articles relevant to the specific type of performance you will be discussing. After telling a bit about each article you can continue answering the questions above. Make sure you include a link, the title, and author of the two articles they read in their post

  1. Review Assignment (Due Wednesday)
    1. p. 368 #1-6, 8, 9, 12, 14, 18, 20
    2. p. 332 #1-6, 9, 10, 11, 13 (see Key Below)

    2. Challenge - "Not For Profit" Fundraising Challenge p. 372
    3. The Inequalities Game p. 373 (with cards from Steve)
Note: We will review Linear Equations tomorrow, and have a test Wednesday on the whole Patterns and Relations Unit (Linear Equations and Linear Inequalities). 

Math 9B - Ratio and Rate: I understand ratios, rates, and proportions, and can apply my understanding to applications such scale, mapping, speed, and unit cost (Ch 6 and 7)
  1. Scale Diagram Assignment (Due at the end of the block on Tuesday):
    1. You will be handing in three things:
      1. one page of initial sketches of the object with measurements
      2. one page of calculations - clearly labelled and with work shown
      3. one page of graph paper with your 3 scale drawings on it and the scale of each drawing clearly labeled (do not write any of the original measurements on this drawing)
    2. Notes:
      1. You will be preparing 3 scale drawings of an object in the classroom: a side view, a front view, and top view. 
      2. Measurements can been in feet/ inches or in meters/ centimeters
      3. Your drawings will all go on one side of a piece of grid paper. 
        1. Fold the paper in quarters so one of the views you draw takes up half the page and the other two views take up one quarter each. You will need to use a different scale for the large drawing as you will for the smaller two drawings.   
    3. Process:
      1. Know - pick an object you know you can draw and sign up on the board to no one else draws the same object. 
      2. Wonder - What measurements do you need in order to draw side, front, and top views of the object? 
      3. How - Once you've made the appropriate measurements, how will you use proportions to make sure you are drawing the object to scale? How can you best use the grid paper?
      4. Learn - Can you use what you've learned about proportion to help create the scale drawings? (Here's a video to help you out)
      5. Action - create your scale drawings
      6. Questions - once you are finished write down some new question you have, or some things you wonder if you could have done better.

Apr 17th - Math in the Real World Presentations

Present:
Share what you've learned and the process by which you learned it. The suggested framework is to share what you:

  • Knew initially
  • Wondered 
  • How you went about finding answers
  • What you learned
  • What action you took with that knowledge
  • What new questions you had 

Reflect:
In a blog post explain:

  • how you demonstrated understanding with respect to the learning goal you chose.
  • how your learning process demonstrated three or more Math competencies.
  • what you learned through this process. You may choose to comment on: 
    • how you see Math differently
    • how this way of thinking about and using Math was different for you
    • what you might do differently if you were to do this project over or do a similar project

    • Brainstorm ideas here
    • The Math Links for this chapter would make a great project idea - they involve the construction of a mobile made of 3D shapes. You'd really have to apply your Math knowledge to create precision shapes that would balance. This could make a really cool piece of geometric art!
    • This Chapter would lend itself nicely to some experimentation with Math games. See if you can find some to practice and apply your knowledge of powers
    • See if you can come up with a project idea based on powers and exponents.
Integers: I can add, subtract, multiply, and divide integers. I can apply my understanding to substitution problems and exponent problems. (Math 9B, Ch5)

  • Practice:
    • Assignment : 
      • p.180 - Choose 4 Odds

  • Apply (time to start planning for your Math Project):
    • Brainstorm ideas here
    • The Math Links for this learning goal would make a great project idea - they involve the construction of a mobile made of 3D shapes. You'd really have to apply your Math knowledge to create precision shapes that would balance. This could make a really cool piece of geometric art!
    • This Chapter would lend itself nicely to some experimentation with Math games. See if you can find some to practice and apply your knowledge of powers
    • See if you can come up with a project idea based on powers and exponents.
Integers: I can add, subtract, multiply, and divide integers. I can apply my understanding to substitution problems and exponent problems. (Math 9B, Ch5)

Powers: I can use exponent laws and order of operations to solve exponent problems, I can solve exponent problems involving area, volume, and surface area. (Math 9F, Ch3)
  • Learn: 
    • Using Exponents to Describe Numbers:
    • Explore Repeated Multiplication p. 92 (we'll do this in groups and then go over it together)
  • Practice:
    • Check Your Understanding 3.1, p. 96-98

  • Learn: 
    • Lesson with Integer Chips, practice adding and subtracting integers
  • Practice:
    • Adding Integers: p. 155 Choose 4 Odds (Do, Mark, Correct)
    • Subtracting Integers: p. 160 Choose 4 Odds (Do, Mark, Correct)

Fri Mar 7th

Rational Numbers (Math 9F):
  • Goal: I can compare, order, and define rational numbers. I can perform operations with rational numbers (as decimals, fraction, squares, and square roots)
  • Test today!
Fractions (Math 9B):
  • Goal: I can represent fractions pictorially, concretely, and symbolically. I can perform operations with fractions.
  • Test today!

Is Clean Energy Worth It?

  1. Chunk 2 (In Your Assignments folder) - should be done
    1. Review as a class (Wed)
    2. Have partners (students who are sharing the doc together) chat in the margins of their doc and decide how they will break up the work on the doc
    3. Have students collect the necessary information to complete Chunk 2
  2. Chunk 3: Table of Values and Graph Assignment - Due Friday
    1. Review as a class (Wed)
      1. spreadsheet example
      2. example as a .pdf (may be easier to read for our iOS users)
    2. Give groups time to fill in their table of values, and start creating graphs and equations
  3. Chunk 4: Visual Representation of Findings - Due Friday March 7th
    1. Review the criteria in the class rubric together as a class (I have filled it in based on what we started with)
    2. On your own:
      1. Look at the table, graph, and rules criteria carefully to make sure you set everything up correctly and got all the information necessary in Chunk 3
      2. Look at the criteria for connections to ensure that you have added in enough additional information to put the math in context. 
    3. Look at the criteria for technology/ visual presentation and create a visual presentation. As we want these to be printed and posted on a bulletin board suggested presentation tools would include:
      1. Glogster (Video Tutorial)
      2. Google Draw in Google Drive (Video Tutorial, another Video Tutorial)
      3. Something of your choice similar to Glogster or Google Draw (think poster presentation, not slide presentation)
