[accordion-item title=”Intentionality…”]

The purpose of the Day 4 activities is to reinforce key concepts from Day 3. Students will engage in a math talk and will have an opportunity to complete independent purposeful practice. The math talk and purposeful practice serve to develop a deeper understanding of the following big ideas. 

• There are different types of data;
• Data is often characterized as continuous or discrete;
• Continuous data is measurable and can take any value (within a range);
• The slope of a line in a continuous line graph can help us draw conclusions; 
• Average speed is the total distance divided by time through partitive division.
