Class Topics: 05.23.13

In Math Six today, students worked through some dependent probability problems with Mr. Giomini such as the one posted below.  Once that was completed, students collaborated with peers in table teams to compete with each other over probability problems and ones dealing with adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators.
Today's Learning Goals: The student will be able to...

1. use cross reduction to help simplify fractions before multiplying.
2. determine the product of two, three or four fractions.
3. calculate the probability of dependent events occurring.
4. add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators.  

For Evening Practice, the student is expected to...

In Pre-Algebra today, students completed their Chapter Eleven Posttest.  This was the last assessment of the year and grades will be posted later today either before the end of the school day or shortly after.  

Today's Learning Goals: The student will be able to...

1. use data in a table to write an equation for a function.
2. represent linear functions with ordered pairs and graphs.
3. determine the slope of a line.
4. use slopes and intercepts to graph linear equations.
5. find the equation of a line given one point and the slope.

For Evening Practice, the student is expected to...

1. check Gradebook Wizard for their updated grades.
