What is the learning goal today?

Slide 2 - Slide

First....
an amazing nature event !

Slide 3 - Slide

Slide 4 - Slide

Slide 5 - Slide

a. We read this text together.
b. Answer the question below in the next slide.
This is not an easy question.
So: concentrate! In the next slide
you may answer the
question.

Slide 6 - Slide

Roughly how far away is the thunderstorm?
A
2 km
B
2 + 2/3 km
C
2.5 km
D
3 km

Slide 7 - Quiz

Solution:
It takes the thunder 3 seconds to travel 1 km.
So if you hear the thunder after 8 seconds, then it is
8 : 3 =                 km away. Or 2.7 km, rounded off.
However, because the question said 'roughly' (ongeveer) also
2.5 km is a good answer.
2+32

Slide 8 - Slide

Question:
In which LINE a MISTAKE is made in this text? 
Key in the number of the line in the next slide!

TIP: it's not about words;
they are all correct. It's about
meaning of events.

Slide 10 - Quiz

The MISTAKE is:
At first they say that the lightning
comes first and the thunder follows.
However in the 3rd line it's 
the other way round:
The thunder is followed by the 
lightning!? Funny.

Slide 11 - Slide

In the 13th edition of the book this mistake is corrected,
as you can see below:

Slide 12 - Slide

Slide 13 - Slide

A RULE in WORDS about thunder and lightning is:
If you divide the time in seconds the thunder takes to reach you by 3, you get the distance in km.

Slide 14 - Slide

This Rule in Words is changed into a Formula now:
We alredy have a RULE IN WORDS:
If you divide the time in seconds the thunder takes to reach you by 3, you get the distance in km. 
Now we make a FORMULA:
time in seconds : 3 = distance in km

What does a Formula have, but a Rule in Words does not?

Slide 16 - Mind map

Solution:
A Formula has arithmetic symbols like:
+           -              x      :      and      =  
What is described (=beschreven)  in a Rule in Words, is made into a Calculation in a Formula.

Slide 17 - Slide

Let's make a Formula now!
In the next exercise you get some information.
You are asked 
A) to make a Formula and then 
B) to make a Calculation with it.
By the way: a Formula should be applicable (toepasbaar) for any number that you like to fill in.
For every number another outcome will follow.
A Formula does not have one fixed outcome!

Slide 18 - Slide

Examples of formulas:
-     salary in euros = hours x  15 euros  + 15
-     length of a tree in cm = years x 10 cm 

Slide 19 - Slide

START your Formula with:
Weight of a box =  .............................     (the NUMBER OF BALLS plays a part here!)

Slide 20 - Slide

Formula .... ?

Slide 21 - Mind map

Some correct Formulas are:

number of balls x 60 + 250 = weight,  or
250 + number of balls x 60 = weight,  or 
weight = number of balls x 60 + 250
So you see that there are more ways to write it down!

Slide 22 - Slide

The MAKING of a Formula ...
is more difficult than making CALCULATIONS with that
Formula. 
You will notice this in the next slides.     

Slide 23 - Slide

Slide 24 - Slide

Now answer this one, using the Formula you just made!
In the next slide, the Formula is repeated.
ANS 

Slide 25 - Slide

Calculate the weight of a box containing 6 balls.
The Formula is:
number of balls x 60 + 250 = weight

Slide 26 - Quiz

Solution:

Slide 27 - Slide

Summarising:
Sometimes you have a Description or a Formula in Words (that's the same).
You can change this into a Formula.
In a Formula you can fill in a given number, to get an outcome.
Like we just did.

Slide 28 - Slide

Homework time
Time to do §6.1 now.
You may skip exercises 1 and 2, as you already did a lot.
