What We Did Today

 Students got back their DS quiz and we went over the correct answers. We then went over the "Density of Cubes" lab. Students shared their density calculations which allowed us to compare the density of each cube with the list of known densities in order to identify the substance. 

Homework

If you did not finish the lab questions last night do so tonight so you can earn back points.

Stein - Math 6 Plus

What We Did Today

Students completed Problem 1.3. Students discovered that the median is the middle position of any set of data that is in order from least to greatest. Students added data to existing sets of data to see if the position and/or value of the median changed. We worked through A and B in class. Answers to the classwork is available at http://norupstein.weebly.com/math-6-plus-homework-and-answers.

Focus Question

How do you identify and use the median? How can you compare two distributions of data using the medians?
