Math Reflection...Let's reflect together!

TWO PARAGRAPHS

1. Make an area model that shows someone who has a 70% free throw percentage.
  • What is the probability of getting o pts, 1 pt, 2pts
  • What is the mostly outcome?
  • What are the average points per trip?

2. Make a counting tree to show someone who has a 70% free throw percentage.

  • What is the P(0),P(1), and P(2)?
  • Show how the counting tree and the area model are related.
Have fun this weekend! Hope its sunny!

Memorial Day Weekend



Hello all!

This is a weekend to remember those who have fought for our country and the freedoms that we have. It is a time to honor and remember. If you see someone who is the military, tell them,          "Thank you!"

Have a wonderful weekend! Enjoy the (not) sunshine. Remember to remember!

Crazy "C" days!

Crazy days those "C" days.  Yes...every class, every day.

For those who "love" math, yes, Brendan, I mean you! I realize that having math every day is like slow torture, but there is nothing I can do.

Tomorrow another "C" day, then a three day weekend (Yes...no school on monday!), then an "A" day and back to normal.

You have survived The Night of the Notables! Next week is Family Math Night!

We are getting close to the end of the year.

Leave a comment if you are interested in any field trips this summer!

Extra credit for comments!

What do you expect?


Today we are looking for a treasure in the castle...did you figure it out? What is the probability of finding the treasure in the castle. It's almost like playing Clue! Did the crime occur in the Great hall? The Reception Room?

What is the probability that the treasure was in the Entrance Corridor?

First 10 comments about this unit and the correct probabillity of the treasure in the Entrance Corridor and you get extra credit points!

Happy Commenting!

Checklist #1 Due Monday May 12




Okay, this investigation is about the beginnings of probability.

We did match/no-match with a spinner and worked with counting trees.

Your investigation is due on Monday May 12. It is a "C" day so get your work done!

Have fun! Be safe!
