  1. Cooperative Learning Activity Match your puzzle-piece with other similar pieces to form a problem to solve. As a learning group team, select a strategy to solve the problem. Solve the problem as a team then submit a solution to the class. Your team must be able tojustify the solution!!!

  2. Math in the Workplace http://www.micron.com/k12/math

  3. Possible Uses • Pre-Assessment Exercise • Introduce classroom procedures (cooperative learning, word problems, no “I don’t know’s accepted) • Hook for new unit • Review • Exit Slip

  4. Problem 1 A print head requires 6 hammer assemblies. You currently have 173 hammer assemblies. You are given an order to build 45 print head assemblies. 1.  How many print heads can you build with the hammers you currently have? 2.  How many additional hammer assemblies will you need to complete the 45 print heads ordered?

  5. ANSWER 1.  173 hammers in supply 6 hammers per print head = 28.83 print heads Therefore, 28 print heads can be built with the hammers currently stocked. 2.  45 print heads x 6 hammers per print head = 270 total hammers needed for entire order. 270 total hammers needed - 173 hammers in supply = 97 hammers needed to complete the order. This is an actual interview question used. About 40% of applicants get it right.

  19. Problem 6 A horse weighs 1,200 pounds. He is sick and has been diagnosed with a certain disease. This disease is treated with Drug X. Instructions are to give 3 mg/kg orally twice a day for 5 days. The medicine is provided in 200 mg tablets. 2.2 pounds = 1 kg How many tablets need to be dispensed each day? How many tablets need to be dispensed for the 5 days?

  20. ANSWER 1,200 lbs/2.2 lbs/kg= 545 kgs (weight of horse)  545 kgs x 3 mg/kg = 1,635 mg  1,635 mg x 2 times/day = 3,270 mg per day  (3,270 mg/day) /(200 mg/pill) = 16.35 or 16 pills per day  16.35 pills/day x 5 days =81.75 pills to be dispensed *Open-ended discussion: What would you do about the partial pill?

  22. Problem 7 A house costs $120,000.The buyer finances (borrows) $100,000. His payment of principal and interest is $699.22 a month. He decides to pay $100 extra per month. By paying extra, his loan is paid off in 245 months (or 20+ years) versus 360 months (or 30 years). How much did our borrower save over the life of the loan by paying the extra $100 each month?

  23. ANSWER $699.22 x 360 months = $251,719.20 $799.22 x 245 months = $195,808.90 $251,719.20 - $195,808.90 =$55,910.30 saved

  25. Problem 8 I want to pay a $1,000 bonus to an employee. The IRS requires me to withhold 20% for income taxes and 7.5% for Social Security and Medicare taxes. 1. What should the amount of the bonus be to be certain the employee receives $1,000? 2. As the employer, I have to match the 7.5% Social Security/Medicare tax and send that to the IRS as well. How much money will I have to send to the IRS?

  26. ANSWER 1.   b = the bonus amount 20% + 7.5% = 27.5% or .275 b - .275 b = $1,000 .725 b = $1,000 b = $1000/.725 b = $1,379.31 (bonus amount) 2.   bonus - net bonus = taxes withheld $1,379.31 bonus - $1,000 net bonus = $379.31 taxes withheld $1,379.31 x 7.5% = $103.45 Social Security/Medicare tax $379.31 withheld + $103.45 employer match =$482.76 sent to IRS

  28. Problem 9 Cattle graze on the Boise National Forest. To determine how many cattle graze on a pasture, it is necessary to determine how much feed is available and the quantity consumed by cattle. The pasture produces 1200 pounds of forage per acre. Cattle are only allowed to use 40% of this forage. The pasture contains 1,500 acres suitable for grazing. If a cow and her calf eat 33 pounds of food a day, how long can 500 pairs of cows and calves stay in the pasture?

  29. ANSWER (1200 lbs. forage/acre)(40%) = 480 lbs. usable feed/acre (480 lbs./acre)(1500 acres) = 720,000 lbs. usable feed 720,000 lbs. feed 33 lbs. cow-calf days = 21,818 cow-calf days 21.818 cow-calf days 500 cow-calf pairs = 43.6 days Rounded to the lowest whole day =43 days

Jim has the following lot to appraise, but he must first find the square footage to determine the appraised value of the lot.

  35. ANSWER Area of circle= pr^2 = Ѕ (pr^2)= Ѕ (p(25)^2)= 981.75 sq. ft.  Area of square = length x width= 75 ft. x 50 ft. = 3,750 sq. ft. + half circle = 3,750 + 981.75 = 4,731.75 sq. ft. $6.25 x 4,731.75 =$29,573.44

  37. Problem 12 In a five day work week, a typical elementary class can be taught in .5-hour blocks. If the school day is 6.5 hours long, and each .5-hour requires a written lesson plan except for the six .5-hour blocks that are taught by specialists such as music [2], PE [2], library and computer. Deduct 45 minutes for lunch each day and .5 hour a day for recess. Deduct 3 minutes a day for flag salute, roll call, etc. How many lesson plans is a teacher writing each week?

  38. ANSWER 6.5 hours/school day - .5 hr/recesses = 6 hours a day 6.0 hours - .75 hr/lunch = 5.25 hours a day 5.25/.5 = 10 half-hour blocks/day (plus .25 hour or 15 minutes) 10 half-hour blocks x 5 days = 50 half-hour blocks/week 50 blocks – [3 hrs/.5 (special classes)]= 44 half-hour blocks 44 blocks or lesson plans needed each weekwith 15 minutes left for the flag salute, roll call, etc.

  40. Problem 13 a. This label came from a can of soup. What are percentages of calories from fat, saturated fat, total carbohydrate, sugars, and protein. Saturated fats have the same calories per gram as total fat. Sugars have the same calories per gram as total carbohydrates. b. If Americans are encouraged to eat no more than 40% of their calories from total fat, and no more than 10% of their calories from saturated fat, and about 50% of their calories from total carbohydrates (not too high, nor too low), how would you judge this product?

  41. ANSWER a) 13 grams fat x 9 cal/gram = 117 fat calories 5 grams saturated fat x 9 cal/gram = 45 saturated fat calories 31 grams carbohydrates x 4 cal/gram = 124 carbohydrate calories 5 grams sugar x 4 cal/gram = 20 sugar calories 5 grams protein x 4 cal/gram = 20 protein calories Percent (%) of Calories from: 117/260 = 45%fat 45/260 = 17% saturated fat 124/260 = 48% carbohydrates 20/260 = 8% sugar 20/260 = 8% protein b) Goal Actual Rate =< 40% 45% total fat: very high "not at goal" =< 10% 17% saturated fat: very high "not at goal" 50% 48% total carbohydrates: "at goal"
