| Whopper Jar Recording Sheet.pdf |
Step 1: As you watch the video, think about math: What math do you notice in the video? What do you wonder (math related questions)?
Step 2: Write at least one noticing and one wonder on the sheet (or in your notebook).
Step 3: The person in the video filled the jar with Whoppers. How many Whoppers did it take to fill the jar? Estimate. What is your "too low" estimate, your "too high" estimate, and your "just right" estimate? Write them down.
Step 4: Use the picture below to decide what you know. ("I know there were ___ Whoppers in the each bag. There were ___ bags used.")
Step 5: Use what you know to figure out how many Whoppers fit in the jar. Show your strategy. Prove it to the world! Remember, just like we learned in class, the answer is not the focus. Put your brain on the paper. Add labels so that anyone who looks at it can understand what you meant. Need help? Use some of the tools or posters from our Math page. You can use Hanna's work from last week as a guide to know what we expect.
Step 6: Tell someone about your work. If you are proud of your work and would like to have it posted on this website, upload a picture of it below. Images are moderated, so you will not see them right away. Thanks for sharing your math thinking!
Optional Challenge Problem: If you would like, you can try this challenge problem. Use the same number of Whoppers in each bag, but instead of 5 full bags, what if only 4 full bags and some of the 5th bag fit? This picture shows how many of the 5th bag would not fit. Label your work "Challenge Problem" should you upload it in the form below. Have fun!
