POW The Haybaler Problem We are trying to find the weight of 5 hay bales. The bales were weighed in pairs. The pairs for the bales are bales 1 and 2, 1 and 3, 1 and 4, 1 and 5, 2 and 3, 2 and 4, and 2 and 5 and so on. The weights are 80, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 90, and 91 measured in kilograms. What are the individual weights of the bales? Is the answer I found the only possible sets of weights? Explain how you know. So I thought that if you know that there is 5 bales of hay and 10 weights, you should just add 80+82, 83+84, 85+86, 87+88, and 90+91, then divide by two. The reason why you would divide by two is because half of ten is five, and there are ten weights and five bales. But then I figured out that that didn’t work. …show more content…
Bales A+C=82, A+D=83, A+E=86, B+C=84, B+D=85, B+E=88, C+D=87, C+E=91, D+E=91. That is just one way to do the problem. My proof that this is the correct answer is because the numbers for each letter added up, equals the weights as given in the book. There are 10 different ways to this problem. I only could figure out one of the ten different ways to do the problem. The grade I think that I should get is 2/2 points for the problem statement. The reason why I think that is because I gave all the necessary information. For the process I think that I should get 3/3. The reason why is because I told what I was doing. I also gave 3 pieces of evidence that I tried something. I explained why it was the wrong answer and how I did the steps for trying to figure out what the answer is. Then I think that I should get a 3/3 on the solution. The reason why is because I got the right answer, gave proof, and had an equation. I think that I should get a 1/1 because there are no words spelled wrong or any errors. The math that was learned from this is the system of equation. By: Cadence Whitlow 1st
My “1 student with a score of 0” received a one because he did not pay attention during the lesson. I might have been able to help if I had stood next to him and kept him on task. I believe he knows the information because he said things during the experiment that leads me to believe he can do better. His diagram actually reflects our experiment not our lesson and that in itself is interesting. My “1 student with a score of 1” was one that asked questions. I tried to provide different examples so make it easier but in hindsight I should have SHOWN an example by providing a visual. (I will be doing this in class tomorrow)
4. Self-Assessment: I was impressed on how quickly I found the answer to the Problem of the Week. Normally, in this math class, first answer you get immediately is not the right answer. But this time I got it on the first try. I would rate myself a 10 out of 10 for my
How I think I did with self-assessment is meeting the standards. I worked hard, took my time, and did well working as a group when solving the problem. The part I struggled with the most is understanding the rubric. I like being able to write up my POW and explaining how I did as well as how I got my answer. I believe I tried my best, got along with my group, and did good on my POW. The strategy I used is using an odd number and seeing if it was right by dividing it by 5 and 7 first.
I felt that I put a great deal of effort toward the grade that I wanted, through my strict self discipline in my class effort. I was extremely critical when I was reading novels and stories, editing essays, and writing essays. Moreover, I was able to improve my writing and analyzation

When I came across this question I felt confident in my ability to answer it. Throughout high school I was exposed to many similar questions; because algebra was heavily focused on in my mathematics classes. To answer the question I converted the written instructions into an algebraic statement. So, each sentence was represented by a series of letters and numbers instead of the original words. The algebraic expression that I formed matched one of the possible answers; thus, I felt confident with my final answer.
Mr. McClean, our network’s Director of Student Information Systems, provided key information about Miriam’s calculated grade. When we manually calculated her score with assigned weights to Classwork (50%), Homework (10%), Quizzes (25%), and Tests (15%) and without dropping her lowest score, her grade was a 63%. The formula that we used was:
The score I deserve for both Quarter 2 and Semester 1 is a C at most. I say this because recently I haven’t turned in any of my assignments due and missing some school. Though I can’t repair the past, I can try my best for the present and the future. I hope after this reflection is done, it will help my grade and prove that I will try to turn in
Louis, I thought you did a very good job on your week two task. Your discussion board post was well researched and written. I’d noticed some spelling mistakes, punctuation, grammar, or APA errors. I thought you did a great job on this task. I look forward to more of the same. Here is the grading rubric 2 used to grade this task: Task requirements: Comprehension met 35/40; Timeliness met 10/10; Engagement met 20/30; Writing (Mechanics) which includes the following Proper punctuation 4/5; Correct spelling 4/5; Correct word usage 4/5; Correct grammar 4/5. Total
3 x 2 + -2 x 4 + 3 x 8 + -2 x 1= 6 -8 +24 -2= 20
We have 5 bales of hay. We don’t know how much they weigh. When they are weighed in pairs, their weights are 80, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 90, and 91. Your initial task is to find is to find out how much each bale weighs. Is your answer the only possible set of weights? Explain how you know
One of the assignment I chose for math was a test. I chose this assignment because one of the hardest test †hey I have ever done. Even though received a C I am still proud of it because for me it was a challenge. The assignment was about “Linear Equations, Getting m & b and Scatter Plots. The problems that are in the test is for number seven which is about how the given data represents a linear function and to complete the table of solutions and write equation. That is part of the test questions that I had for this test which at first did not know what to at first so it came back to my head and got the answer correct. The point of this assignment was to get it done at the time it was giving in which I did not completed. Even though
During this semester I was lucky to be placed at Mink Shoals in a fifth grade class. I taught a total of five lessons. For my assessment chart I choose to show the progress that my students made on the math lesson. They took a pre-test and a post test. I knew that math was a good subject for about half of the class, and half of the class struggled. I knew this was going to be difficult to teach. Before I taught my lesson I did a lot of planning, but before I planned I worked with students every day in a math group. These math groups showed me what the students understood and did not understand. When I planned my lesson I talked to my cooperating teacher to see what I should go over if I wanted to help prepare them for the smaterbalance. After we talked, I decided to look up standards, and practice math tests to see what I should review for the test. After looking everything over
When considering a grade for this project, I would suggest basing the scores off of interest and effort, rather than overall intelligence. This project was very new for a lot of students, and therefore putting some who are used to the “normal” day in class up against those with lots of creativity and interest can lead to an uneven playing field when it comes to a set rubric. For me, I feel as if I have done what was asked in return for a decent grade, and that is the same for many of my friends and fellow
First I think I deserve this type of grade because it’s a good grade. Everyone knows that. Teachers tell me all the time that they are glad I pay attention. They also say its good to just do the work and
