Class Topics: 03.07.13

In Math Six today, students reviewed their Evening Practice with their peers.  Students then began Lesson 7.2 - Generating Random Numbers.  The students worked with playing cards to help model both theoretical and experimental probability.  

Click here for a slide show of today's lesson.
Today's Learning Goals: The student will be able to...
  1. apply division rules to rename fractions as percents.
  2. calculate probabilities.
  3. observe how the distribution of outcomes varies with the number of trials.
  4. compare theoretical to experimental probability.  
For Evening Practice, the students are assigned...
  1. Math Journal page 252.
  2. post an answer to the question below based on the picture.
What is the probability that I will pull a queen of hearts, two of diamonds
or a eight of clubs?  Convert your answer to a percent and explain
your answer.
In Pre-Algebra today, students reviewed for Friday's Chapter Eight Summative Pretest.
Today's Learning Goals: The student will be able to...
  1. write equivalent percents, decimals and fractions.
  2. determine if answers need to be exact or can be estimated; estimated percents.
  3. find the percent of a number.
  4. calculate the percent increase or decrease; find the amount of a discount or markup.
  5. use a formula to find the amount of simple interest.
For Evening Practice, the students are assigned....
  1. to make corrections to their Chapter Eight Pretest and compare their answer to the ones posted below.

    The probability of pulling one of these cards is 1/52 because there is one of each card. So the percent for these cards is 1%

    I got 1.9% because there are 52 cards all together and 1 Queen Of Hearts so that would be 1/52x100 Which equals 1.9%

    The probability of pulling one of these cards would be 1/52. The percent would be for pulling a queen of hearts card 1%.

    I got about 1 percent because there are 52 cards all together and one queen of hearts. I got that by doing 1/52 then multiplying it by 100, and that is around 1 percent.

    The probability of pulling one of the cards out of the deck would be 1/52 and the percentage of pulling a queen of hearts would be 1%

    There are 52 cards. The chance of pulling a queen is 4/52 13%

    I got 1/52 because there was 1 of each of the queens diamonds and hearts and there was 52 all together.

    probability of one card being pulled is 1/52 or 2%, and the probability of puling a queen would be 1%.

    The probability of pulling out 1 of the cards is a 1/52 chance so the percentage would be 2%
