Math – Calculator Use•Number Sense:

Evaluate:

20 + .10 X 4

•Problem Solving:

AllCall charges $20 minimum fee plus 10 cents per minute. What is the monthly bill for 80 minutes of use?

• Number Sense:

Evaluate:

19.95 + .12 X 4

• Problem Solving:

The monthly charge for AllCall cellular use can be modeled by the function

F(x) = 19.95 + .12x

Determine the cost of 83 minutes of use.

If a family budget allocates $42 to cellular use, how many minutes can they use each month?

Math – GRAPHING Calculator Use•Data Analysis

Write the equation of a line that passes through the points

(0, 20) and (10, 24)

• Data Analysis

Mr. Modern recorded the following data from his cellular phone bill:

Minutes of use Charge

54 26.43

68 28.11

48 25.71

Determine a function that models the data.

Determine the cost of 74 minutes of use.

How many minutes of use can be purchased with $67.50?

Science exampleNASAhttp://www.sciencestandardslessons.org

The Space Foundation has developed a free, comprehensive bank of science lessons for grades pre-K through high school. The more than 200 lessons are divided into grade levels-preK-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12- and all lessons specify the national science standards met. Sample lessons for each grade level are available online to preview. To access the entire lesson bank, teachers must register to establish a login and password. (sign in as rosecavin)

• Blogs:– Definition – from

http://www.marketingterms.com/dictionary/blog/• A frequent, chronological publication of personal thoughts and Web links. • People maintained blogs long before the term was coined, but the trend

gained momentum with the introduction of automated published systems, most notably Blogger at blogger.com. Thousands of people use services such as Blogger to simplify and accelerate the publishing process.

• Blogs are alternatively called web logs or weblogs. However, "blog" seems less likely to cause confusion, as "web log" can also mean a server's log files.

info on copyright: Can you link to anyone you want? Do you have to get

permission to link to someone else's page? Can someone prevent you from linking to their page? Can you prevent someone from linking to your page? Is there such a thing as a doctrine of Implied Public Access on the Web?

As it stands now, there appears to be a doctrine of implied public access on the Web. The Web was created on the basis of being able to attach hypertext links to any other location on the Web. Consequently, by putting yourself on the Web, you have given implied permission to others to link to your Web page, and everyone else on the Web is deemed to have given you implied permission to link to their Web pages.
