The test on combining like terms, one-step and two-step equations that was scheduled for Thursday, Dec 16th 2010 has been rescheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday, January 4th 2011.
We spent the day reviewing and the kids seem very comfortable and prepared.
Good luck tomorrow!

Putting the FUN into math!
This week we started our FUNctions unit!
Today we talked about functions as machines. Look at the things around you and you will see functions are everywhere! Soon we will talk about functions as other things too.
Algebra will be so much easier after you learn some of functions this year so pay attention.

Nearing the End of Probability
We are beginning to approach the end of our Probability Unit. The students have been working hard to distinguish between each of the following:
1. "and"/"or" probability
2. theoretical/experimental probability
3. fair/unfair games
4. independent/dependent events
In addition, we've been talking about different ways to express sample spaces and how to predict the number of times a certain outcome would occur based on probability.
As we wrap up this unit, please consider the following questions as some dinner table conversation and see how much your student has learned so far this year!
1. Jon and Harry are playing a game with a number cube. Jon gets a point if the number cube lands on an odd number. Harry gets 3 points if the number cube lands on a 5. Is this a fair game?
2. Rachel flips a coin 12 times and gets heads 7 times and tails 5 times. What is the probability that she will land on heads the next time she flips?
3. What is the probability of flipping a head on a fair coin and rolling a 6 on a number cube?
4. What is the probability of flipping a head on a fair coin or rolling a 6 on a number cube?
5. You have a bag of 6 snickers, 12 milky way, and 2 almond joy candy bars. What is the probability that you would pick a snickers and then an almond joy?
6. There are 25 stink bugs and 10 ladybugs in Mrs. Critzer's sunroom. What would be the probability of a 4 stink bugs landing on her head, assuming once they land there they stay there?
Early next week we will begin to talk about combinations and permutations.
Have a great weekend!
