66thth Grade Math Grade Math

Deep understanding: Requires students to deeply understand the proportions and ratios using two variables (check number and timing). Students are scored not only on their answer but on the way in which they used their understanding to answer the question. Students are asked to explain their thinking.

Application: Requires that students apply their understanding of proportions to explain their thinking in a real-life scenario using two variables. Students are not prompted to use ratios/proportions, but they need to apply that thinking.

Suppose Tom wrote check #556 on November 5, 1995, and check #953 on September 26, 1997.

What is a good guess for when Tom wrote check #678? Explain how you arrived at your guess.
