Introducing...PROBABILITY!

Hey Math Genius'!

Here is a webquest to help you understand PROBABILITY! Make sure to read through ALL of the website. You will have to have the following written in your diary:

1. A TITLE!


2. Definitions of EXPERIMENT, OUTCOME, EVENT, and PROBABILITY (Create a chart like the one on the website.)


3. Show the "formula" for the probability of an event (in the box with the BLUE headline)


4. Choose ONE of the examples to be copied into your diary.


5. Draw a picture to go with the example you choose. (example: Draw the spinner and include the different colors.)

You must also complete the 5 exercise problems at the bottom of the page. On a separate piece of paper write the question as well as the correct answer. This paper will be your ticket out. Work HARD! Be PROUD!

Your Teacher,

Miss Ellis

Diary of a Math Genius!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I want to congratulate you on a wonderful job on your Diary entries for the Second Quarter. Here are a selection of pages I thought were particularly wonderful.

Good Morning Section 4!

This Monday meeting we will be talking about our goals for the upcoming third quarter. We want you to post some ACTION you will do to improve yourself academically.

Post your goal as a comment below. Some things to remember:

1. Make sure that you are honest with yourself. You will be the one effected by accomplishing this goal.

2. Make sure you are specific!

3. Make sure you are writing down an ACTION.

Here is an example of a goal that is acceptable:

"My goal is to ask two questions a week in math class so I can make sure I understand what we are learning."

Here is an example of a goal that is NOT acceptable:

"My goal is to study hard."
