4.1: Notice and Wonder: Tape Diagrams

What do you notice? What do you wonder?

4.2: Walking Half as Much Again

Complete the table to show the total distance walked in each case.

Are you ready for more?

Zeno jumped 8 meters. Then he jumped half as far again (4 meters). Then he jumped half as far again (2 meters). So after 3 jumps, he was 8 + 4 + 2 = 14 meters from his starting place.

4.3: More and Less

4.4: Card Sort: Representations of Proportional Relationships

Your teacher will give you a set of cards that have proportional relationships represented three different ways: as descriptions, equations, and tables. Mix up the cards and place them all face-up.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
No corresponding situation.
Han bought x pounds of apples. Mai bought 2/3 of that.
Han ate x ounces of blueberries. Mai ate 1/3 less than that.
Mai biked x miles. Han biked 2/3 more than that.

Explain how you computed the total distance in each case.

Two students each wrote an equation to represent the relationship between the initial distance walked, x, and the total distance, y.

Mai wrote y = x+\frac{1}{2}x
Kiran wrote y = \frac{3}{2}x
Do you agree with either of them? Explain your reasoning.

Zeno jumped 8 meters. Then he jumped half as far again (4 meters). Then he jumped half as far again (2 meters). So after 3 jumps, he was 8 + 4 + 2 = 14 meters from his starting place.

Zeno kept jumping half as far again. How far would he be after 4 jumps? 5 jumps? 6 jumps?

Before he started jumping, Zeno put a mark on the floor that was exactly 16 meters from his starting place. How close can Zeno get to the mark if he keeps jumping half as far again?

Write a story for one of the diagrams that doesn't have a match.

For Diagram A, write an equation that represents the relationship between x and y.

For Diagram B, write an equation that represents the relationship between x and y.

For Diagram C, write an equation that represents the relationship between x and y.

For Diagram D, write an equation that represents the relationship between x and y.
