Speak Meaningfully What You Say Should Carry Meaning;

Geometry: week 1, 2013. p.1 The Rules of Engagement:

 Speak meaningfully — what you say should carry meaning;

 Exhibit intellectual integrity — base your conjectures on a logical foundation; don’t pretend to understand when you don’t;

 Strive to make sense — persist in making sense of problems and your colleagues’ thinking.

 Respect the learning process of your colleagues — allow them the opportunity to think, reflect and construct. When assisting your colleagues, pose questions to better understand their constructed meanings. We ask that you refrain from simply telling your colleagues how to do a particular task.

11. On the broomstick questions (#3-#6) we did not need to mention “feet” in the answer. Why is that?

12. Which bank account grew more in one year? Account “A” grew from $100 to $145. Account “B” grew from $50 to $76.

13. Consider a bank account that grew from $95 to $120 over THREE years.

a. Use an additive comparison for these two numbers. What does your answer mean?

b. Use a multiplicative comparison for these two numbers. What does your answer mean?

14. If the terms of growth remained constant,

a. What is the annual additive growth for this account? What does your number mean?

b. What is the annual multiplicative growth (factor) for this account? What does your number mean?

15. Repeat the above with an account that went from $150 to $130 over four years.
