In Math we will be starting a unit on probability and statistics. We will first start with using the common rock, paper, scissors game to look at experimental versus theoretical probability. We will then use Tree and Venn Diagrams to determine various probabilities for specific events. Towards the end of the week we will review measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode, range) and also discuss outliers. Using this data we will begin to understand and create box and whisker plots, after identifying median, lower quartile, upper quartile, minimum and maximum.
In Science we will be using our practice MEAP test as a basis for review for this years Science MEAP. Since the Science MEAP covers material from 5-7th grade, we will be spending each day going over major concepts taught in these 3 years. I will basis each day's lesson off of the questions that a majority of students got incorrect from their test last week.
In Advisory we will be using this time to review major concepts from Math last year, for this year's MEAP test. Students took a practice test last week as well, and we will go over questions that many students got incorrect. We will also have a few mini-lessons to teach concepts that were never taught last year because we ran out of time.
I look forward to starting the year off on a good note. Please remember on Monday to bring all of your supplies to class. For Science, you need a notebook (which you are to purchase on your own, or purchase one from me for $.25). For Math, you need to bring your binder and notebook that I provided to you. Remember, you need your planner for each and every class!
I'm looking forward to this week. I am going to have to be more organize .
ReplyDeleteThanks Tyre for checking out the blog. So far you seem to be doing very well! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteheyy Mrs.Perez...so if i want to run for treasurer i have to write a paper and a letter??? And it all has to bge in by next week.
ReplyDeleteHeyy mrs.perez for the tree diagram....i know some ppl are going to get ot wrong but like can you have a paper with the correct diagram on it fpr everyone? So we can know what is correct.
ReplyDeleteTrinity, first of all, yes if you want to run for treasurer you have to write a speech of why you should be treasurer. you have to get a letter of recommendation from someone else as to why they think you would be a good treasurer. I'm not sure what tree diagram you are referring to, but we will always go over homework answers in class if that is what you are referring to
ReplyDeleteheyy Mrs.Perez may you write me a letter of reccomendation on why I should be treasurer for the student council?!?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteOh no Trinity. I just saw your comment on here about writing a letter! I think it was due yesterday, but on Monday, why don't you go ask Mrs. Kubrak if it is too late. If not, I will of course write you a letter. Next time, if something is important, make sure you follow up with me in class in case I don't see your comment on here in time!
