PIRATES LOG Algebra Content 100 pts. Technology Literacy 15 pts.

Collaboration 25 points

Data is not put into a table.

2. 3. 4.

Scatter plot is missing/ the axes arent labeled/ graph isnt titled. Type of function represented by the table is missing or unclear. Explanation of how you determined what type of function the data represented is missing or incorrect. Slope is not found using the triangle method/ no work is shown. Slope is not found using the formula for m, or now work is shown.

Pirate Log includes the experimental procedure (3-4 sentences and a list of the steps) for the collection of the boats weight data. Data from experiment in section 1 is tabulated. (x-number of pennies, yweight of boat). Includes a scatter plot of the data. (all axes are labeled, graph is titled) Determine the type of function represented by the data. (linear, quadratic, exponential, etc.) Write 2 sentences explaining how you determined the above function.

In addition to meeting the PROFICIENT Criteria:

20. 21. 22. Pirate Log is made using technology (iMovie, Powerpoint, Website, etc.) Video demonstration of the experiment is included in the final product. All graphs are made using graphing software (kidzone, grapher, mathgv, etc.) Calculations are made to predict how many nickels it would take to sink the boat. (Include: New equation, Graph, Prediction) Calculations are made to predict how many pennies it would take to sink the boat if it were heavier. (Include: New equation, graph, and prediction)
