Daily Scribe for 2/1/10

Today in class, we finished up problem 1.2, which talked about analyzing comparison statements. In this problem, we compared students at Neilson Middle School who preferred watching television to students at Neilson Middle School who preferred listening to the radio. On part B of the problem, we declared whether each statement, out of a group of statements, was true or false. For example, one of the statements says that 1/3 of the students prefer radio than television, and after looking at the data, this fact is true, so I would have marked "true" for this statement. Also in class today, we started problem 1.3, and this problem talked about writing comparison statements about trees and their Spread/Diameter measured in feet, their Circumference measured in feet, and their Height measured in feet. This is what we did in class today.
