Math Benchmark Podcast #2

(Chapter Three, Chapter Four, and Chapter Five)

Group Members:

Lexy Babcock

Goldie Robins

Jessica Maiorano

Gabby Santaniello

What Our Group Discussed:

We discussed Chapters 3 to 5.

How We Discussed It:

We mostly stayed in chronological order and went through each of the following chapters: 3, 4, and 5. For each chapter, we tried to pull out some different ideas and examples from the book. Some individual group members picked out things that others didn't notice. 

Any Points of Conflict/Disagreement In Discussion:

We mostly agreed. We had a few points of discussing an idea to better the understanding of another group member. 

Questions answered:

1. Choose one of the quotations inside the front cover and discuss how it relates to the Introduction.
2. Put the second paragraph on Page 18 (“A river cannot….”) into your own words.
3. Which kind of “average” (statisticians call all three “measures of central tendency”) would give me the best way to compare the performance of two classes of a required math course? Why?

*ALSO, We are going to include the articles in the next podcast with chapter 6 discussion.
