Exit slip: My can Volume and SA Calculation

Well on Friday my classmates really didn't help me. I understand what needs to be don't in order to complete this project. I did help my classmates understand what need to be done. For example I helped Ivette understand what she had to do to get her calculations. I was able to accomplish a lot during class I finish my work sheet and got all the calculations for my can. During class the skills that I learn was how to measure a can and find the volume and the surface area. I think if i we're to use these skills out side of school was if i was trying to make a 3D shape and trying to see how much the volume would be. That how i think i'll use it outside of school. I only have one question or maybe a suggestion: Would we get a rubric of how this project would be graded? If not are you able to give us a rubric of how the project would be grade?. I personally think that would be really easy, I understand you explain what would be ask when we present but I feel it should be written down on paper because Some people do tend to forget and it would be nice just to know what are the requirements to this project and the presentation.

Writing Objectively - 2. Tables Exit Slip

These are two calculations from the two functions; this is shown in Table 1 and Figure 1. The first function is y1=4x^3 and the second function is y2=7x^3.

The first column has some values for the independent variable x. The value for x ranges from -25 to 25. This was chosen at random. The scale is set to 5, so all the important points of the graph would be shown.

These x values were plug into the function y1 and the results are shown in the second column. The y-values first decrease as x-values increase from negative numbers to zero. (0,0) is the vertex and it's also the minimum of the graph. Then, the y-values increase as x increase from 0 to positive values.


The y-values for y2=7x^3 are shown in the third column of table 1. The y-values decreases but only until x=0. Then after that x is 0 the graph increases.

Exit Slip Lesson 3 Compare& Contrast

We compare and contrast Functions by creating a chart then we lab the categories by the exponents. We start off with the highest exponent then work our way down all the way to the constant terms. This is how we compare and contrast exponent using Google docs. I think this is going to be a more easier way for us to get our math work done and handed in on time. I'm really enjoying using Google docs =].

Exit Slip For Graphing

1. One major idea that I learned today was how to use google docs to graph and create charts.
2. One Major problem I had today was writing the function in order to graph it. At first it was a little confusing but I eventually got the hang of it and now I have no problem. Next time if I have a problem in writing the function i'm just going to look back at the sample graphing we did as a class. This is really helping me prepare for the PBAT project. I'm really looking forward in starting this project. =]
