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…

Problem – 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?

– What other information may be helpful? ? –Does the order matter? ? ?

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)

Homework – 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. – Remember!! – Give your parent letter to your parents – Have them fill it out and return to me by Friday!!
