Happy New Year!
Students returned to class today, after a long holiday break. We'll have 4 day weeks for the entire month of January, due to holidays, furlough days and midterm grading.
Today, students spent time gathering data about the height of stacks of cups. We used 6 different types of cups during class, and students determined the height of stacks from 1 to 8 cups tall. Data from different groups was shared. This information will be used to complete tonight's homework.
Tonight's Homework: Graph the data you collected in class today. Include the line of best fit for each cup. Determine the rate of change for each of the different types of cups. Predict how tall a stack of 15 cups would be, using the data you've collected. Summarize your results. Discuss things like:
•what are the y and x intercepts, and what do they represent?
•is this data continuous or discrete? How should it be shown on the graph (solid or dotted line)? Why?
•What is the rate of change for each type of cup?
