Looking into the future...triangles!

On the half sheet of paper, mark three dots in the shape of an equilateral triangle. 

Presentations!

At 2:45 pm, presentations will begin. Please make sure your presentation includes the following:

• Your team name
• A slogan that describes what your team is all about.
• The data that you used in your project.
• A general overview of the data.
• Answers to the "guest" questions. Your answers should include:
• your recommendation.
• How you decided upon your recommendation.
• Why you believe you are providing the best selection.

There will be an assessment on Friday that covers prime factorization, LCM/GCF and the measures of center that we have been using: mode, median and mean + range.

Caffeine Project Update

The information that you have worked up so far has already helped clients choose which drinks they plan on using in upcoming races. Based upon the information that was posted last week, a few questions have come up and it would be great if you could find time today to answer the following:

1. My brother always wants to be up to date with the latest trends. He stood in line for the latest i-phone and he’ll go watch Twilight because everyone else is (he’s not even a vampire). He wants to know what drink to buy if he is to get the typical or most common amount of caffeine. Could you help him out?
2. One of my best friends never pays attention to research, labels or, well anything! I’m trying to get him to slow down and pay attention because it would really help. At the moment he just grabs whatever is the closest drink. What amounts of caffeine could he possibly be putting into his body?
3. Wow! What has happened to drinks these days. I asked my dear Aunt Sally to pick me up a drink before my race the other day. I told her to just get a middle-of-the-road drink. You know, nothing too strong, nothing too weak. She’s really nice and came back with a tall coffee from Starbucks. Talk about the prerace jitters! Was this really a middle-of-the-road caffeine drink? Please let me know.

Those are the latest questions. Based on how well you’ve worked so far, I really hope you can put some presentation together by the end of the day that shows the data you’ve worked up and the answer to these questions.

Is there anything else that your group wants to add? Please do so. Eventually we have to give the job to one group.

Sincerely,
