Friendly Hills Teams For Meet5

Next Monday's meet is the final meet of the year and will be at Heritage. You'll need to get out a little early, so pick up an early excuse slip from Ms. Dahlstrom in the attendance office on Monday and meet me in the circular entrance nearest the buses. We Leave at 3:00. We'll be back at about 5:20.

A little terminology I forgot to mention this morning for box and whisker plots:
the two boxes and the two whiskers are call "quartiles" meaning one quarter of the values fall in a "quartile. The "inner quartiles" are the two boxes. The whiskers are also called the "lower" and "upper" quartiles. The "range" is the highest value minus the lowest value.

TEAM ASSIGNMENTS

Once again I have to have 2 non-8th graders on each team, so Dan Keis will be replaced by Brigham.
The red team could do quite well next week.
P5c = Practice Test 3, P5d = Practice Test 4, M5r = Meet5 Rating

GOLD TEAM PRACTICE

For additional practice, what point is the intersection of 2x + 3y = 9 and x -5y = -15 ?
Hint: Get x or y all alone in one of the equations, then substitute.
For example, looking at the second equation we can say x = 5y - 15, so we can substitute 5y-15 for x in the first equation, then solve for y. Once you have the y value, you can replace y with it in either equation and solve for x. Now you have both x and y, so (x,y) will be the point of intersection of the two equations.
