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!

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!

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!
