10-1-2013 Fund Raising Thermometer

Library book missing.  Have you seen it?   Diary of a Wimpy Kid Rodrick Rules.

Today we will do our first Performance Task.

The big deal with Perfornance Tasks is figuring out what the challenge is.

First we will do something called 3 Reads.  Has anyone done a 3 Reads before?

1.  Read straight through for content.
2.  Read numbers and look for their relationships.  Discuss.
3.  Summarize - what could the problem be?

What do we know about fund raisers?

How can we track the progress in a fund raiser?

How can a thermometer be used to track our progress to the goal?

How did we measure the shared portion of the thermometer?

How can we figure out a fraction for the shared part?

Are the students ahead or behind schedule?  How do we know?

Which day do you think they will reach their goal?  What is your evidence?

What do we know about rates?
