Observations from Llamas

O.k. so here is what I noticed. All of you posted and all of you, over time got the correct answer. What did vary dramatically was the depth of the post. For those of you that not only gave the answer but provided organized proof received extra credit. Very nice use of the table.

Many of you used the guess and check method. This was a valid approach to the problem. Many of you gave us no idea of what you thinking or process was, I docked those students points.

Although we have discussed expectations and they are posted on the blog, I will establish a standardized rubric of expectations for your posting which I will post on the main page of the blog and give you a paper copy for you notebooks.

Overall, for our first post I think you got a good feel for how this assignments works and attempted to meet the criteria. nice work!

Student Posts Llama

Here are some student posts that included student names. This is unacceptable. I have stated and it clearly states on our blog only initials are to be used. I have docked points for using names and re-posted edited versions of these posts.

I believe that you deserve acknowledgement for your work unfortunately the web is not that secure, please protect our privacy and use only your friends initials to make sure everyone is safe and secure.

MR
33 ostriches and 14 llamas
33 x 2 = 66
14 x 4 = 56

66 + 56 = 122

There are 14 llamas and 33 ostriches. P and J found the answer...
14x4=56
122-56=66
66+56=12
66/2=33

4 = llama legs
2 = ostrich legs
