Probability Wednesday

Dear parents and students, 

I hope everyone is enjoying this new spring weather we are having. The geese on the soccer field sure look like they are. 

We started the day off with math. We began by starting our new unit probability. Today, it was all about describing the likelihood of an outcome (chance of something happening). The students learned how to use descriptive words such as likely, unlikely, certain, and impossible. They also learned how to use a table to multiple and add to find the probable outcomes and probability numbers. Here is a video that they can use to better understand it (link). All students were able to finish their homework in class for math. Probability is a small unit we will most likely have a quiz next Tuesday. 

In UOI, the students worked on their projects, here are some pictures of the designers. 

In language, we looked over the students reflections and trackers. Thursday night will be their last day to track and reflect on their journals. On Friday, the students will be creating their final reflection on the entire process.
