7th Grade Math Seminar Assignments
No homework due next class – we’ll keep working on this problem then.
We started the Switching Counters problem.
How many moves does it take to separate seven pairs of two different colored counters to opposite sides using only “flips”?
What is the rule that would work for any number of pairs?
How does the rule relate to the counters themselves?
Congratulations on all your hard work, seminarians. It has been a pleasure and an honor working with each of you.
Email me your seminar reflection ASAP – by Friday morning at the latest.
Here are the prompts I put on the board:
Qualities of a good problem solver:
For everything you say in your reflection, be specific. You can refer to specific moments in class or specific pieces of work.
You may also want to consider:
Since Tuesday is a Friday schedule, we’ll do these problems in class. Please print them out and pring them with you – but you don’t need to solve them.
Use the rules you found in class to solve these circle geometry problems.
There is one piece of given information missing in the first problem – arc AC is supposed to be labeled 110 degrees.
Enjoy!
Answer these questions (typed). Be thorough and clear. Use illustrations as needed. If you’d like an extra challenge (or a 4) try the bonus.
Bonus: Is there ever a situation when the best place to stand for games 1 and 2 are the same? Explain.
Homework Holiday – see you next week.
