Week 3 Agenda

Monday - 9.09

1. Math Talks: Goldbach’s Conjecture
   • What do you notice?
   • What do you wonder?
   • Weak and Strong conjectures
2. Exploring Conjectures
   • Finding a counterexample
   • Modifying the conjecture
   • Reflection
3. Collatz Conjecture: Understanding the Sequence

Tuesday - 9.10

1. Math Talks: Hashiokakero
2. Consecutive Numbers
3. Collatz Conjecture
   • Understanding the Sequence continued
   • Check with your group to make sure all trajectories are accurate
   • Coding Collatz Trajectories and Finding Patterns

Wednesday - 9.11

1. Math Talks: Visualizing Collatz trajectories
2. Collatz Conjecture
   • Finding Patterns
   • Extensions and modifications, plots, etc.

Thursday - 9.12

1. Math Talks: Find it Fast!
2. Collatz Conjecture (1st half of class)
   • Extensions and modifications, plots, etc.
   • For the plot, your x-axis can be the seed number and the y-axis can be something like seed length, # of odds, # of evens, or # of primes. You can create your plot from your original trajectories or your modified one. See what patterns or trends emerge!
3. Re-imaging school TED Talks (choose a video to watch, make sure to say which video in your response)

Be sure to reference the video in your response. You can put on subtitles so you are able to quote the speaker. Your response should be 1-2 pages, double spaced, 12 pt. font. THIS IS DUE AT THE END OF CLASS TODAY.

• What struck you?
• What ideas emerged through watching the video?
• How do they connect to your own school experience?
• What questions emerged for you?

Friday - 9.13

1. Math Talks: Weird Sudoku
2. Look at expert data visualizations
   • Components of the visualization
   • Areas of strength, areas of improvement, things
3. Begin final visualization and write-up
   • Potential tool to visualize some data. Don't feel restricted by what this tool can do. Feel free to go beyond or do your own thing.
     • Scroll down to "data visualization" for potentials tools
   • First draft of both due on Monday. We will be critiquing both the visual and the writing on Monday.
