Class Topics: 03.20.12

In EDM today, students were introduced to tree diagrams which help show all the possible outcomes when discussing different events.  Mr. Giomini modeled to the class how to read and complete a tree diagram using some of his weekend clothes.  As a class, we then completed MJ 257.  Students collaborated with peers to complete MJ258 in pairs.  Responses were shared as a class.
Today's Learning Intentions: The students will be able to...

1. use a tree diagram to find expected outcomes for chance events.
2. compare their experimental (actual) results to the theoretical (predicted) results.  
3. design a tree diagram for their own probability test.

For Evening Practice, students CAN...

1. complete Math Box 7.4.
2. complete Study Link 7.4 which is posted to the blog.  (Can be printed out at school or home.)

Sorry, I don't own red sneakers.
