Baseball Project
No other sport is more statistically oriented than baseball. Detailed statistical reports are kept on almost every aspect of the game. The recent movie "Moneyball" detailed the use of statistical information to generate success in the game.
On Monday students will view parts of the 2011 World Series between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Texas Rangers while calculating current standings and won/lost percentages based on the most recent team performances.
Bullying
Bullying continues to be a major focus in all schools. To reinforce our commitment to maintaining a safe environment at MIS, students will view a video on bullying on Tuesday.
Area and Volume
Math classes will practice using formulas for finding area and volume on Wednesday and Friday of this week. Homework on these areas will only be assigned to finish work not completed in class.
Speed
On Thursday of this week students will view the short I-Max film on man's continuing quest for speed and will use the formula "Speed = Distance / Time" to solve a set of speed/time/distance challenges.
Hiking Club Project
Classes will complete their walking activities this week. We'll finish up the actual walking and then complete the distance log by calculating total distance walked and mean distance over the five walking challenges and by completing a line or bar graph (student choice) of the distance walked over five days.
