Minds On…

Whole Group Solve Problems Designate three sections of the room as Agree, Disagree, and Don’t Know.Pose the problem: The height of a can of tennis balls is greater than its circumference. Do you agree? disagree? or don’t know?After some ‘think time,’ participants to go to the section of the room that matches their hypothesis and use a variety of manipulatives and strategies to investigate the problem to prove/disprove their belief. Once they reach a conclusion they have an option to change sides. Participants discuss the Mathematical Processes used in the solutions. Ask: Which processes and criteria from the Generic Rubric for Mathematical Processes could be used to assess the solution for this problem?

Whole Group Make ConnectionsMake connections between problem solving and the Mathematical Processes.Participants choose a problem they would like to solve and form working groups based on their selected problem.Introduce problems (BLM 5.3–5.8) and ask which processes are best suited for assessment with each problem. Answers: BLM 5.2a –5.2f; others may be appropriate.

Small Groups Problem Solving/AssessmentIntroduce and explain the Fishbowl Strategy.

Process Expectations/Observation/Mental Note: Observe participants’ ability to use the rubrics to assess the process.

Differentiate content based on participant choice to make activity personally relevant.

Note: Hidden slides have possible solutions to the problems. Deck problem has a solution that can be done using GSP.

Fishbowl is a collaborative learning strategy in which one group forms an inner circle and completes a task, e.g., solve a problem, discuss. The second group forms an outer circle, quietly observes their peers, and prepares to discuss and question what they observed.

Action!

Whole Group Discussion Debrief the Fishbowl Strategy task as a group.Make connections between assessment and the Mathematical Processes.

A. Analysis Using Finite DifferencesThe solutions can be arrived at through a modelling approach, with or without the aid of technology (graphing calculator, spreadsheet) or through a spatial/logical approach, using the physical models of the cubes.

Two Faces Painted

The first differences, for the 2 Faces Painted relationship indicate a linear relationship. The rate of change is 12. For any row in the table, the number of cubes with two faces painted is 12 times the cube number, less two.

The algebraic statement of the relationship is thereforeN n2 12 2= -( )

The second differences, for the 1 Face Painted relationship indicate a quadratic relationship. The number of cubes with one face painted is zero when n is 2. This indicates a quadratic relationship of the form a n -( )2 2 . The second difference equals 12, and also equals 2a .

5.4 The Painted Cube with Solutions (continued)

B. Graphical Perspective

Here is a picture of a Fathom document showing the plots of Two-Faces-Painted, One-face-Painted, and Zero-Faces-Painted. The Two-Faces-Painted plot has a least-squares line fitted to it, and the One-Face-Painted plot has a slider, in which the value of a has been adjusted to 6.

C. Geometric Approach

This strategy is easier to understand when working with linking cubes.Make larger cubes of at least 4 × 4 × 4 to more easily see the solutions:

There will always be 8 “corner cubes,” with 3 faces painted.

There are 12 edges. For each edge, the “corner cubes” will not have 2 faces painted – all the rest will have 2 faces painted. That totals 12(n - 2) for an n × n × n cube.

1 face painted 2 faces painted 3 faces painted

There are 6 “inner squares” with 1 face painted. The dimensions of these squares are (n - 2) × (n - 2). That totals 6(n - 2)2 for an n × n × n cube.

The 2 × 2 × 2 cube that “sits inside” the 4 × 4 × 4 cube represents the 0 faces painted cubes. For an n × n × n cube, the inner cube has dimensions (n - 2) × (n - 2), or (n - 2)3.

5.5 Temperature ProblemThe inhabitants off Xenor use two scales for measuring temperature. On the A scale, water freezes at 0° and boils at 80°, whereas on the B scale, water freezes at -20° and boils at 120°. What is the equivalent on the A scale of a temperature of 15° on the B scale?

5.6 Dart Board ProblemYou have been asked to assign numerical values of 2, 5, and 8 to the three coloured regions on the dart board. Regions with smaller areas are assigned higher scores.

The dart board is designed with a square inside a circle and a square outside the same circle.

Match the three scores with the three coloured regions on the board. Use any tools or strategies available.

5.8a Function Card Game (from MHF4U BLM 6.11.4)

Your team must find a pair of matching cards. To make a matching pair, you find one card that has the graphs of two functions that correspond with a card that shows these functions combined by an operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division).

When you find a matching pair, state how the functions were combined. Discuss why you think it is a match.

Check the answer (BLM 5.8c) and reflect on the result, if you had an error.

Continue until all the cards are collected.

Some of the features to observe in finding a match are:intercepts of combined and original graphs• intersections of original graphs• asymptotes• general motions, e.g., periodic, cubic, exponential• large and small values• odd and even functions• nature of the function between 0 and 1, 0 and –1• domain and range•

Examples

The initial graph of sin x( ) and 2x,can be combined to produce the graphs shown below it. Determine what operations are used to combine them and explain the reasoning. Check answers after you have determined how the functions were combined.
