Sight Fractions Test

Just like learning sight words for reading, we have studied several fraction, decimal, and percent equivalents that good math students should know without having to compute. Knowing these conversions will make math lessons easier and improve a student's math reasoning skills. We will have a quiz on these this week. 

UNIT 1 Test

You are about to take the Unit 1 math test. Please read the following instructions before you begin:

• Read each question and choose the best answer. 
• If the question requires you to write a response, please answer in complete sentences. 
• Remember to turn in all scratch paper and do your best. 
• Once you submit your test, you may not go back and change any answers. 
• You may use your calculator on this test. 
• You will also need your Leadership Notebook to answer some of the questions on this test.

Math Stations

On Friday we will be working through 6 math stations in class. Here are the instructions for Station 6.

1. Click the link below to see the highest and lowest elevations by state.
(HINT: Be sure that you are looking at the middle and last elevation values, not the first column of numbers!)

2. Find the 5 highest points in the United States and the 2 lowest points in the United States.

3. Use this information to complete the table on your rotation sheet.

Integers Notes

Thursday: Here are the notes for the introductory lesson on integers. Tonight's homework assignment is WB Pg. 201.

Here are Friday's notes for ADDING INTEGERS AND MODELING INTEGERS. 

Inside the foldable: 

Same signs: Add and keep the sign. 

Different signs: Subtract and keep the sign of the number with the larger absolute value.

March Madness Meets Probability

Today will will begin our annual March Madness probability assignment. Students will be given a bracket and will have to find the experimental probability of each team winning the next game based on the record of previous games played. Full instructions are available here as well as a link to the printable  bracket from NCAA.org.

Probability Test Thursday

We will have a test on probability on Thursday. Here are what students need to know for the test. We will go over specific examples in class tomorrow.

1. Be able to look at a survey case and identify the following

                  -the population

                  -the sample

                  - whether a sample is biased or random

                  -Be able to identify biased and non biased questions. 

2. Explain the difference between independent and dependent events.

3. Explain the difference between theoretical and experimental probability.  

4. Be able to define the following:

·      event

·      probability

·      outcome

5. Be able to write probability as a fraction, decimal, percent, and graph it on a number line.

6. Be able to tell that probability is always a value between 0 and 1

7. Be able to determine if the outcome of an event is impossible, unlikely, as likely as not, likely, or certain.

8. Be able to solve probability of single events and compound events.

9. Be able to create tree diagrams and area models to prove probability. 

              

Statistics and Probability Vocabulary Quiz and Test

We are currently studying statistics and probability. We have a vocabulary quiz on the following list of words on Wednesday; students should have the list with definitions in their composition books from a couple weeks ago.  Our next test will be Thursday. Check back tomorrow for a study guide.
