ALGEBRA…. Decisions, Decisions, Decisions Dear Bill, Today is my 55th birthday. I have decided to give away some of my money each year to my relatives. You may choose one of the following options: Option 1: $100 dollars now, $90 next year, then $80 the year after, and so on. Option 2: $10 dollars now, $20 next year, then $30 the year after, and so on. Option 3: $1 now, $2 next year, $4 the year after and so on doubling each year. You will only receive money until I retire. Write to me soon and tell me how you want your money. With Love, Aunt Judy Handout 5

If Judy retires at age 59 which option do you think Bill should choose? Justify your answer. 2. Bill thinks that his Aunt Judy is likely to wait until she is 65 years old to retire. What is his best choice option for her retirement at age 65? Justify your answer 3. Since Bill is not sure what age Aunt Judy will retire, how do you think Bill should reply to Aunt Judy’s letter? Explain clearly which option you think Bill should choose. Show your reasoning. Name: _________________________________

BULGING BACKPACKS Overview: Students will estimate and find the actual weight for each of their backpacks. The class constructs a scatter plot to display some of the data; then each student creates a personal scatter plot. This lesson gives students experience plotting points on a Cartesian plane and interpreting those points in terms of a real-world situation. The function y=x is used to describe the meaning for points above and below this line. With numerous similar experiences, students develop an intuitive understanding of function and correlation. Prerequisite Concepts and Vocabulary: Finding explicit and recursive rules for patterns Graphing points Scaling axes for specific data Understanding the vocabulary function, scatter plot, coordinate, variable, and axis Time: This lesson takes approximately 90 minutes. Materials: Bathroom scales Student backpacks Large sheet of graph paper for class scatter plot 1 sheet of graph paper per student Graphing Calculator (optional)
BULGING BACKPACKS Lesson Plan: Discuss plan with the class Each student makes a table and records his or her own data (Table included). Students make estimates for only three backpacks, then find their actual weight, to help students get some general idea of how much backpacks weigh. Students use the bathroom scale to weigh each of the backpacks to the nearest half-pound. For the class data have each student record their estimate and actual weight on a table on the board. Label the x-axis actual weight and the y-axis estimates.(This allows us to talk about the points above the line y=x being overestimated and the points below being underestimated as well as anyone on the line as being perfect) Next assign the individual scatter plots for their estimates of all backpacks. The next three can be done as a class on the class scatter plot or assigned for each individual to write about. Draw the function y=x+2 and discuss what that tells us. Draw the function y=x-3 and discuss what that tells us. Draw the function y= 7 and discuss what that tells us. Extension Using the graphing calculator, create a box and whisker plot for estimates in Plot 1 and another box and whisker plot in Plot 2. Display both plots in the same window. Discuss the differences in the range of the estimates and the actual weights. Check for outliers and compare the statistics for estimates and actual weights using the trace feature of the calculator.

How much does each shape weigh? Explain. 1. From Teaching Student Centered Mathematics P. 280 Most weight is the cylinder; least weight is the cube 2 spheres = 1 cylinder….and 3 cubes = 1 sphere….therefore 6 cubes = 1 cylinder 2. What will balance two spheres? Explain. 1 cube = 2 cylinders …so… 1 cube + 1 cylinder = 3 cylinders 3 cylinders = 6 spheres…therefore 1 cylinder = 2 spheres Handout 9
3. 2 cubes + 1 sphere = 8 and 3 spheres = 12 therefore 1 sphere = 4 2 cubes + 4 = 8, 2 cubes =4, 1 cube = 2 From Teaching Student Centered Mathematics P. 280 4. 1 cylinder + 1 cube = 13 2 spheres + (1 cylinder + 1 cube) = 21 Use substitution: 2 spheres + 13 = 21, 2 spheres = 8, 1 spheres = 4. 1 cube + 2 spheres = 14, 1 cube + 8 = 14, 1 cube = 6. 1 cylinder + 6 = 13, 1 cylinder = 7. 5. Equation 1: 1 sphere + 1 cylinder = 7 Equation 2: 1 sphere + 1 cube = 6 Since 7 is one more than 6 and the spheres are the same, then 1 cylinder = 1 cube + 1 Equation 3: 1 cylinder + 1 cube = 6 Substitute: (1 cube + 1) + 1 cube = 6, 2 cubes + 1 = 9, 2 cubes =8, Therefore 1 cube = 4 Equation 2 Substitute: 1 sphere + 4 = 6, 1 sphere = 2 Equation 1 Substitute: 2 + 1 cylinder = 7, 1 cylinder = 5

8th grade Open Response n(n+1) 2 Pam and Greg are each building a pyramid of tiles. The number of tiles needed is represented by the rule , where n is the number of levels in the pyramid. The pattern for the pyramid is shown below. • Draw the next pattern in the sequence. • How manytiles would be in a 10-level pyramid? Show your work. • 3. Greg has 4-inchtiles, and Pam has 2-inchtiles. They are each going to build a 24-inch tall pyramid. Greg predicts he will need half as many tiles as Pam since his tiles are twice as large. Compare the pyramids to see why Greg is incorrect. 55 See handout 10 See handout 10
