When you flip a coin, it should, in theory, land on heads every other flip or 50% of the time, but does that happen when we try it? Sometimes? Never? Always?
What if we flipped it 50 times? What should we expect?
Stay tuned!
Tuesday: We will continue our work on EDC (Every Day Counts-Calendar Math). We will continue our third investigation, Between Never and Always.
Wednesday: We will continue our work on EDC (Every Day Counts-Calendar Math), and we will continue our third investigation, Between Never and Always.
Thursday: We will continue our work on EDC (Every Day Counts-Calendar Math), and we will continue our investigation, Between Never and Always (BNAA).
Friday: We will continue our work on EDC (Every Day Counts-Calendar Math), and continue our investigation, Between Never and Always (BNAA).
We are also going to start looking at geometry a bit more by studying circles, finding the area of triangles[1/2 (b X h) ] , and finding the area of trapezoids [ 1/2 h (b1 +b2) ]. Sounds hard, but it's really easy-cheesy! This should be fun!
I was very productive on our planning day and look forward to our time together. I hope everyone has a great week.
