Formulas 09/15
Objective
: You will show during desk work that you can solve formulas using the substitution of values
.Vocabulary
formulaperimeter
Perimeter formulasubstitution
variableWarm-up: Using the formula d =
rt
, where d = distance, r = rate and t = time, calculate the time is takes Olivia to ride her bike from home to the mall if the distance is four miles and her speed on the bike is 12 miles per hour
.
Homework: Review last nights WB p. 46.
Tonight’s HW is WB p. 48 ( 2, 5 and 8)Slide9
Vocabulary for Formulas
Formula
–
an equation created to solve a particular problem, where each variable always represents the same thing. Example: d= rt, where d = distance, r = rate and t = time.
Perimeter – the length around the outside of a figure
Perimeter formula for a rectangle – P = 2l + 2w, where l = length and w = width.
Substitution – the replacement of a variable with a numeric value
Variable –
a letter that stands for a numeric valueSlide10
Formula Examples
Distance travelled = travel rate (speed) times travel time,
d = rt
Perimeter of a rectangle, P = 2l + 2wTemperature conversion, from Celsius to Fahrenheit, F = 1.8C + 32, where F = Fahrenheit temp and C = Celsius tempTemperature estimation based on the chirping of a cricket, F = (n/4) + 37, where F = Fahrenheit temp and n = number of cricket chirps in a minuteSlide11
Formula Practice
1. Find your average speed if you traveled 162 miles in 3 hours
(use d =
rt).
2. Find the perimeter of the world’s largest rectangular strawberry shortcake whose length is 175” and width is 48” (use P = 2l + 2w).
3. William insists on using the Celsius temperature scale. Today he says it is 28 degrees C, so what is the temperature in Fahrenheit (use F = 1.8C + 32).4. Crickets are chirping about 120 times a minute. Estimate the outside temperature based upon this information (F = (n/4) + 37).Slide12Slide13

Exit Slip:To turn in warm up, cause/effect, exit questions all on the same paper
How do you think desertification affects people’s lives in West Africa?
Where do you think most of the crops in West Africa are grown? Hint: These are inference questions so you need to use the clues (pictures, maps, & text from pages 374-375) to answer
