Probability Experiments

We began our day by attending the junior spelling bee for students in JK to Grade 2 this morning.

We then headed to class where we had novel study time. Once again students thoroughly enjoyed the readings and discussion of Number the Stars. Students read chapters 13 & 14. They answered literal, inferential, and opinion questions relating to these chapters. We concluded novel study time with a discussion of the chapters we had read.

Next up was math. We reviewed how to make a prediction or a theoretical probability about an experiment based on a spinner or the likelihood of an outcome. We also reviewed how to use a tree diagram to write a theoretical probability.

Students had drama time with Mr. Monaghan.

During French time, Ms. H kindly allowed us to use the time to work on our final inquiry project on beliefs and values. Students who did not get done in class are asked to complete this project for tomorrow. Students have been encouraged to discuss with their parents beliefs and/or values that are important to their families and to write about these.

Because we did not have enough time to finish our math lesson this morning, the class was kept out of gym in order to work on math. Students paired up with a partner to predict and conduct at least 2 probability experiments. I did not assign math for homework because of the materials needed and the need to work with a partner. Students who would like to improvise at home and work with a parent as a partner are encouraged to do so. Please complete the experiments you did not get to do in class on p. 424 & 425 of the MMS textbook. Students will be writing a unit test on probability on Monday, June 8.
