Day 16

I tried to impress upon the students the importance of studying for the upcoming Chapter 1 test a little bit each night.  If they just study 15 minutes every night for the seven evenings preceding the test, the results will be much better than if they crammed an hour the night before or just studied during flex & study hall the day of the test.  Today's lesson was on the three types of graphs- pie, line and bar.  We discussed section 1-6 notes and I drew several examples of each type of graph on the board, stressing the importance of labels and titles on each graph.  We watched a http://www.brainpop.com/ video on graphs and took the 10-question quiz that followed using student responders.  We ended class by doing worksheet 1-15, graphing density.

No homework was assigned (other than to start studying for the test), and the Chapter 1 test will be on Wednesday, September 28th.
