This is the Math Investigation Task question assigned to your group. You may click on the question for a full screen view and then click back to the blog view to begin contributing your ideas and thoughts in the comment section below this post.
Reading over this question, then finding and stating the important information should help us start the question. The question asks our opinion on the mean of the data, so finding it will also give us a good start. Holly
The mean truly doesn't represent Jason's usual performance because on game 6 he had 35 points and he usually has about 8 points, so that's why the mean is a little higher than his usual performance level. Eric Lum
I think we should figure out all the possible ways of representing the data (mean, mode, median, range) and then like keiko said, discuss why the mean cannot represent the data, and what we can use to represent it. Maya
Once we find all of the possibilities, we can narrow them down to the ones that have useful information, and use them to help us answer the question. Holly.
All the ideas are great because the more ideas we get on how to answer this question, the possibilities we'll get on how to go about answering this question, and our group will be successful because we'll have more strategies to work with. Maya
With Maya and Keiko's strategy, our group will have lots of extra information that relates to this question. We can state an extra fact in our answer that was not asked of us, but will help with further understanding of the main answer. Holly.
I agree with Maya, because if our group were to come up with an incorrect answer, we can retrace our steps. Then, the other information that we found before can be used to answer the question again. Holly.
Group 10 did an amazing job! especially how they presented their answer so creatively. I liked the video where it showed their discussion of how they solved the problem, I think everyone got to speak freely about their opinion which made your group really sucessful in terms of soving and approaching the problem.

ReplyDeleteFor this question my group will have to figure out the patterns, mean and discuss why Jason is better some games than others. Keiko

ReplyDeleteI agree with Maya, we need to discuss all possibilities and find all the ways to get to the answer. Keiko

When we find and present the answer, we can get feed back from other groups. This will help us learn new strategies and form new ideas. Holly.
