Warm Up - Do While Ms. Rickard Checks Your Homework
When you are making a prediction, it is important to be able to recognize whether a relationship is proportional or not.

• Your Task: Work with your team to read each new situation below.  Decide whether you think the relationship described is proportional or non-proportional and justify your reasoning.  Be prepared to share your decisions and justifications with the class.  (From 4.2.1 #4-27)
  
1. Carlos wants to buy some new video games.  Each game he buys costs him $36.  Is the relationship between the number of games Carlos buys and the total price proportional? 
2. A single ticket to a concert costs $56, while buying five tickets costs $250.  Is the relationship between the number of tickets bought and the total price proportional?  
3. Vu is four years older than his sister.  Is the relationship between Vu and his sister’s age proportional?  
4. Janna runs at a steady pace of 7 minutes per mile.  Is the relationship between the number of miles she ran and the distance she covered proportional?  
5. Carl just bought a music player and plans to load 50 songs each week.  Is the relationship between the number of weeks after Carl bought the music player and the number of songs on his player proportional?  
6. Anna has a new video game. It takes her five hours of playing the game to master level one. After so much time, Anna understands the game better and it only takes her three hours of playing the game to master level two. Is the number of hours played and the game level proportional?

Be on your best behavior for the substitute teacher!  Be helpful and no arguing! :)

Today's Assignment
Go to the CPM Textbook 4.2.2 Problem 4-35
Take out the Resource page Ms. Rickard gave you yesterday or get one from the substitute teacher if you were absent or lost it. Put your name on it as it will be graded by Ms. Rickard when she returns. DON'T LOSE IT!

Get from the substitute teacher The second resource page for 4.1.1 problem 4-35. Click here to see it.

1. Read about Kaci and cheese in problem 4-35.  Use the Student eTool to make the graph and answer the questions.

Copy the graph from the student eTool onto your Resource paper. Click here to see it.

2. When you are finished, watch the Part ONE video to see how your table and graph compare with Ms. Rickard's.

3. Answer the questions on the other resource paper (click here to see it) instead of putting it in your notebook.  Ms. Rickard will check them tomorrow and will GRADE THEM so don't lose them unless you like having a zero in the gradebook.  :0

4. When finished with the questions, watch the Part TWO video to check your answers. Pause it and work on 4-36 to 4-38

5. Then work on 4-36. Yesterday, we talked about how to tell if a GRAPH is proportional. There are two criteria. You should have written them down yesterday. If someone was absent yesterday in your team, make sure they know the two criteria.

6. Next try problem 4-37 and 4-38.

7.  When finished, watch the rest of the Part TWO video to check your answers and ideas.

12-15-2015 How Can I See A Proportion? 4.2.2

How much does Bill Gates make each second? $101.47 per second!

You need to do three things to arrive at this figure:

1) Calculate the number of seconds per year: 31,536,000 seconds.

2) Estimate the increase in Bill Gates' net worth in a given year. Let's use the latest figures from Forbes, which calculated that Bill Gates' net worth increased by $3,200,000,000 between 2014 and 2015. (Source: Record number of billionaires in 2015 and Bill Gates top of the list)

3) Divide $3,200,000,000 by 31,536,000 seconds. The quotient is $101.47 per second.

Note, in any given year, the increase (or decrease!) in Bill Gates' net worth will change, and therefore you could come up with a different answer from what I calculated.

NOTE: After test tomorrow, you may listen to music on your own device!
