Unit 1, Activity 1, Vocabulary Self-Awareness Chart
Vocabulary Self-Awareness
As we begin this unit, rate your understanding of each word with either a “+” (understand well), a “√” (limited understanding or unsure), or a “—“(don’t know). Over the course of this unit, return to this chart and revise any √ or – marks to + marks as you learn new information. In addition, add new words as necessary. The goal is to replace all the check marks and minus signs with a plus sign. When a + mark is made for a word, provide an example and a definition in your own words. The completed chart is due when we complete the unit.

Name _______________________________ Date _____________
Use the information below as a starting point for giving an overview of graphs. Show a picture of each of the graphs as it is being discussed, and ask students questions that allow them to compare the attributes and uses of each type of graph.
Bar GraphA bar graph displays numerical comparisons of similar categories. It is one of the most common ways to display categorical data.
HistogramA histogram displays the frequency at which things occur. The data are organized in equal intervals; the data values are marked on the horizontal axis. Bars of equal width are drawn for each interval without any space between them.
Stem-and-Leaf PlotA stem-and-leaf plot is a plot where each data value is split into a stem (usually the tens digit) and a leaf (the ones digit). The leaves on each stem are ordered from least to greatest.
Line graphA line graph is used for continuous data and shows change of a numeric quantity over time.
Circle graphA circle graph, or pie chart, is a circle divided into parts or sectors. The graph shows a part-whole relationship represented by each of the parts or sectors.
Scatter plotA scatter plot shows a relationship between two variables and shows how the two variables are related. Unlike on a line graph, the points on a scatter plot are not connected.
In addition to the information above, remind students that all graphs must have a title, labels, and scale.

1. 8 pints = 4 quarts 6. 3 L = 3000 mL
2. 2 quarts = 8 cups 7. 250 mL = 0.25 L
3. 6 quarts = 1.5 gallons 8. 0.05 L = 50 mL
4. 2 pints = 32 ounces 9. 4 quarts = 8 pints = 16 cups
5. 0.5 gallon = 4 pints 10. 24 cups = 12 pints = 1.5 gallons
11. A gallon of milk is half empty. How many cups of milk are left in the container? Show your work and explain your answer.
8 cups. Explanations may vary. One possible answer is that there are 4 quarts in a gallon. Half a gallon would be 2 quarts. There are 4 cups in each quart, so there are 8 cups in 2 quarts.
12. The caterer has 5 liters of punch to place in the punch bowl. He can choose from the following punch bowls: 2 quarts, 4 quarts, 6 quarts, or 8 quarts. Which punch bowl should he choose if he wants to use the smallest bowl possible to hold all the punch? Show your work and explain your answer.
Since a liter is a little larger than a quart, the 6 quart punch bowl should be the smallest one he can use.
13. The caterer is making punch using a new recipe that calls for 6 cups of Sprite. Will one 1-liter bottle of Sprite be enough to make the punch? Show your work and explain your answer.
A liter is a little bigger than a quart. One quart equals 4 cups. Therefore, he will not have enough Sprite because he only has a little more than 4 cups.
14. Jerry went to the store to buy two gallons of milk. The store was out of gallons of milk, but did have some quarts and pints. Give two different combinations of quarts and pints that will make two gallons. Show your work and explain your answer.
Examples: 4 quarts and 8 pints, 6 quarts and 4 pints, 2 quarts and 12 pints.
15. Lisa needs to fill a 3 liter container with tap water. If the only measuring container she has measures one pint, about how many of the small containers of water will she need to fill the three liter container?

Unit 4, Activity 1, Vocabulary Self-Awareness Chart
Name _____________________________________ Date ____________
As we begin this unit, rate your understanding of each word with either a “+” (understand well), a “√” (limited understanding or unsure), or a “—“(don’t know). Over the course of this unit, return to this chart and revise any √ or – marks to + marks as you learn new information. In addition, add new words as necessary. The goal is to replace all the check marks and minus signs with a plus sign. When a + mark is made for a word, provide an example and a definition in your own words. The completed chart is due when we complete the unit and should be placed in the math learning log.

boats should be of the same color but a different color than the other player’s boats.3. Each player decides on which number he/she wants to place his/her boats on his/her side
of the river. Some numbers may have more than one boat; some numbers may have no boats.
4. Each player takes turn rolling two number cubes and finding the sum of the cubes.5. If the player has a boat on the same number as the sum, the player moves one of his boats
to the other side of the river.6. If a player cannot move a boat, based on the sum rolled, he/she loses a turn.7. The winner is the player that moves all of his/ her boats to the other side of the river first.
