Sample of E-learning Assignment
8th Grade Math E-learning assignment
Go to the website http://www.infoplease.com/states.html
(To see the sample below if you need help ),
After you have picked your state
Place YOUR NAME and the Name of the state at the top of the page!!! Print out a copy and turn it in class and DO NOT e-mail it to me. (There were too many problems e-mailing them to me) Work Must be shown!!!
Answer the 8 questions below.
Scroll down, on the left hand side of the web page for the population of the 10 largest cities. From this info,
1.Find the mean (Show work) total / how many (mean = average)
2. Find the median (Show work) Middle score
3. Find the range of these 10 cities. (Show work) , range (subtract the largest minus the smallest cities)
4. Find the square root of the largest city to the nearest tenth. (Show work)
5. Find the population of the state and then write the population of the state into scientific notation.
6. Write an equation on how to find the difference between the two largest cities. Make sure to define your variables. Then solve it. (Show work)
7. If the population of the state increased by 1,000,000 people over the next ten years, what would be the rate of change per year ( to the nearest tenth of a %). The population of the state can also be found on the left had side of the page. Your answer should be in the form similar to this. The rate of change would be 15.3 % per year for the next ten years if (state) increased by 1,000,000. (Show work)
8. What is the probability that a person chosen a random would live in the largest city. (Show work)
city population / state population
9. BONUS Make up your own math problem using info from the web page and solve it.
A SAMPLE FOR E-LEARNING DAY
Here are Montana’s top cities
I have chosen Montana as my state.
1. 40, 509
How? 104,170 + 95802 + 58 505 + 37 280 + 34200 + 28190 + 19927 + 9310 + 9298 + 8410
10
2. 31195
How? 34200 + 28190
2
3 95760 How? 104170 – 8410
4 323.6 √104170
5 1.04170 x 10 5
6 D = L – S define D = difference L = Largest S = Second Largest
D = 104170 – 95 802
D = 8368
7 The rate of change would be 10.1 % per year for the next ten years if Montana increased by 1,000,000.
1,000,000 / state population then ÷ 10 yrs
8 10.5% 104170/ 989,415
9 ??????????
