What do you expect?


We are almost in May and we are starting our last book of the year! Can you believe it? This year hs flown by! You are almost to the end of the 7th grade! Wow!

Today we got our last book, "What do you expect?" We are finishing the year with...drumroll please...PROBABILITY!

What does it mean that a game is fair? It means that either outcome is equally likely. The chances of winning is even!

Today's assignment:
Problem 1.1 a - e (p. 6)
ACE 1-5 and 7 (p. 13 -15)
Have Fun!

Math Reflection #4


For those with Math on "B" days, here's the info for the math reflection...

At the top of the page, please label it "Math Reflection #4"

Put a sketch of the cylinder on the top of the page...hint...should look similar to the one to the left!

Then at the bottom of the page, you need to find the volume and surface area of the cylinder. (The one that is at the top of the page! ;)

On the back of that page you need to write TWO paragraphs.

#1 Volume

#2 Surface Area

Use these four questions to write your paragraphs:

1. Definition

2. How did you get your answer (from the front)?

3. Why does the formula work?

4. What units do you use for surface area? volume?

That's it! Have a great weekend...call if you need help!

Tata!

Math and Boston




So, I arrived today at Boston and the weather is great. Supposedly it will be colder and rainer tomorrow, but today was beautiful...


Today you should have been working on finding the different ways that a rectangular prism can be made from 24 blocks. There should have been 6 different ways.


Tomorrow you are going to work on the ACE problems.


I will write more tomorrow and post pictures of the trip so far.


Talk to you soon!
