Everyone had a great time playing with the Jade Robot yesterday. We all had lots of fun using it. I would love to use them again. Thank you for bringing it;

I thought the Jade Robots were really interesting and cool, because I never had experience with Robots before so I was excited to have worked with it. Why did you name it, "Jade Robot."? Why couldn't it be called, "Bob Robot."?

Did you use the engineering design process, and how many times did you go back to the improve stage?

Working with the Jade Robots were awesome. It showed me the power of coding and how you can just create a sequence of instructions on the computer to make a robot do something. When we used the Jade Robots to draw on the paper, we were able to be creative and use our imagination to draw anything we wanted and when something didn't turn out the way we wanted we used that and improvised. I thought the way you taught us was very affective because we easily understood and followed the instructions. My only suggestion was that I thought that we could have done something a bit more challenging, but then again we only had a limited time. I would love to have you come back. Thank you!

Welcome to Summer School!Join us on our journey as we explore the links between Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Pro Salaries and Unit RatesIt is clear that professional athletes are well-paid. Anyone who has been following the recent free agent frenzy in the NBA, or the transfer window in soccer, is aware of the enormous sums of money top players earn. In comparison to other professions, these salaries can seem pretty ridiculous.
Math Connection: Unit Rates A Unit Rate is the ratio of two measurements in which the second term is 1. e.g., beats per minute, dollars per hour, kilometres per hour, 0.99/lb, $4.54/kg. If Krishna earns $180 in 20 hours, then unit rate of her earning is given as 180/20 = $9 per hour. Learning Goal: We are learning to use unit rates to determine how much a professional athlete makes yearly, monthly, bi-weekly, weekly, per day, and per hour on average. 1. Choose a professional athlete to examine. Ensure that you can find information about that person's current salary before deciding on them. Click a link in the list below. Search for your athlete. Find their salary. Basketball Reference WhoScored.com (Soccer) Pro Football Reference Hockey Reference Baseball Reference 2. Use your knowledge of unit rates to determine how much your professional athlete makes yearly, monthly, bi-weekly, weekly, per day, and per hour on average. 3. Display your data in an attractive visual format to be shared on this website. You may use markers and chart paper (we'll take a picture of it) or create a document that can be shared digitally. Show all work! Success Criteria for Visual Display I will be successful if: -My work is labeled (a subheading for each different calculation, each unit is labeled) Archives |
