Class Topics: 03.08.13

In Math Six today, students reviewed last night's Evening Practice with each other and then asked Mr. Giomini to clarify any confusion.  Mr. Giomini then introduced and modeled Lesson 7.3 - A Random-Number Simulation.  Students collaborated with a peer to complete Math Journal pages 254 and 255.
Today's Learning Goals: The student will be able to...
  1. apply multiplication and division rules to rename fractions as percents.
  2. calculate probabilities when outcomes are equally likely.
  3. use results of a simulation to estimate probabilities of particular outcomes.
  4. suggest ways to generate random numbers.
For Weekend Practice, students should complete one of the following...
  1. LI - Math Master 7.3 - Handout in class
  2. LII - Study Link 7.3 - Handout in class
  3. blog post - ALL STUDENTS
A box has 3 red marbles, 5 white marbles and 2 blue marbles.  Without looking, you draw a marble from the box and return it to the bag before selecting a second marble.  What is the probability of selecting a blue marble on this first attempt and a red marble on the second attempt?
In Pre-Algebra today, students completed their Chapter Eight Summative Posttest
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..
  3. find the percent of a number.
  4. calculate the percent increase or decrease; find the amount of a discount or markup.
  5. create an equation to calculate someones commission, commission rate or sales.
  6. use a formula to find the amount of simple interest.
For Weekend Practice, the student is assigned to...
  1. check GBW for updated grade and comments.
  2. preview Chapter Nine by looking that the powerpoints for the chapter.
  3. view the Khan videos listed below that will help with Chapter Nine.

  1. 2/10 for the probability of the blue marble (20%) The probability of picking out a red marble is 5/10 (50%)

  2. 3+5+2=10 a blue marble would be 2/10=20% next a red marble would 3/9=33% chance

  6. The chance of pulling a blue on the first try is 2/10 and the chance of pulling a red on the second try is a 3/10 chance so all together it will be a 6/100 chance and the percentage would be 6 percent.

  7. Blue marble on the first attempt will be 2/10 and on the second attempt for the red marble it would be 3/9

  9. On the second turn there is a 30% of finding a red marble (3/10) and there is a 20% of finding a blue marble (2/10) if you add them up you will get 5/10 or 50% so the probability of picking out a red and blue marble on the second turn is 50% or 5/10.

  10. The chance that you get a blue on the first pick would be 1/5 or 20%. The probibility that you would get a red on the seccond one would be 1/3 or 33%.

  17. the probability of pulling a blue would be 2/10 or 20% and the probability of pulling a red would be a white would be a 5/10 or a 50% the other 30% or 3/10 would be the red marble.

  18. The chance of picking a blue is a 2/10 and the chance of picking a red is a 3/10 so the chance of them being picked out is a 6/100 chance and the percentage would be 6%

  19. The chance of pulling a blue is 2/10 and the chance of pulling a red is 3/10 so together it would be 6/100 and 6%
