13. Cheap Labor ? Suppose you and your brother offered two plans to your parents to wash ALL the windows in your house--inside and outside. Adapted from Kari McSherry Problem

14. Cheap Labor ? Plan A 1st window for 1 cent 1 st window for 1 cent up to 2 windows for 2 cents up to 3 windows for 4 cents up to 4 windows for 8 cents up to 5 windows for 16 cents … and so on, doubling your price for each additional window. Pretty cheap labor…or is it? You propose Plan A at the following rate of pay:

15. Cheap Labor ? Write down any questions that come to mind. Share your questions with a neighbor. See if your questions are similar or different.

16. While you proposed Plan A, your brother proposed this alternative Plan B: 1 st window for $10.00 up to 2 windows for $20.00 up to 3 windows for $30.00 up to 4 windows for $40.00 up to 5 windows for $50.00 … and so on, for each additional window. Which plan--Plan A or Plan B--is the better deal for your parents? Why?

17. Cheap Labor ? Turn to a partner and share questions that you might use to evoke “math talk” among students.

22. A Closer Look at the Algebra Instructional Guide How would you use the instructional guide to help you organize units of study? Live Links

23. Algebra Instructional Guides Individually, look over the instructional guide and generate a list of key ideas to be addressed this semester. Compare your list of key ideas with a colleague and make note of any key ideas that you may have overlooked. Briefly discuss a logical sequence to teach these key ideas.
