26. Bucky the Badger
Bucky the Badger is the mascot for the University of Wisconsin-Madison football team
Every time Wisconsin scores, Bucky the Badger has to do pushups for every point that is on the scoreboard
Wisconsin scores a touchdown and an extra point  Bucky does 7 pushups
Then they score a field goal. Wisconsin’s score goes from 7 to 10 so Bucky does 10 MORE pushups
Then they score another touchdown and extra point. Wisconsin’s score goes from 10 to 17 and Bucky does 17 MORE pushups.
Bucky has now done 34 pushups total, so far…

27. Problem Guess how many pushups Bucky had to do over the entire game?
On November 14, 2010 the Wisconsin Badgers played the Indiana Hoosiers
The Wisconsin football team scored 83 points!!
The final score was Wisconsin 83 - Indiana 20
Guess how many pushups Bucky had to do over the entire game?

28. What other information may be helpful??
Does the order matter???

29. Classwork Work together in your groups on Tasks 2 and 3
A calculator is not necessary to complete these tasks
Use approximation strategies to find a good ESTIMATE (does not have to be exact)

30. Homework Remember!! Give your parent letter to your parents
Have them fill it out and return to me by Friday!!
Model the following situation with mathematics:
Let x denote the number of touchdowns Wisconsin scored in a game. Assuming the Wisconsin football team only scores touchdowns, write an algebraic expression to represent the total number of pushups Bucky must do in a game in which x touchdowns are scored.
