A game is considered fair if each player has an equal chance of winning.

Suppose we were playing a game that used a number cube. If I got a point every time an even number was rolled and you got a point every time an odd number was rolled, the game would be considered fair.

 

An event is something that may happen. Sometimes, we are certain that an event will occur. 
Sometimes, we know it is impossible;
and sometimes, we just aren’t sure. 

Certain (The sun will rise.)
Impossible (Frogs will talk.)
Likelyto happen (We will have rain next month.)
Unlikely to happen (I will not watch TV for a year.)
Equally likely to happen or not to happen (If I pick a card from a deck of cards, it will be red.) Probability is the likelihood that something may happen. 


Instead of just saying something is likely to happen, we can use numbers from 0 to 1 to describe probability.

Probability is always shown as a number from 0 to 1. If the probability of an event happening is 0, the event is impossible.

Impossible Event:

(Today is Sunday, so tomorrow will be Thursday.)Write 0 as a decimal? 0.0 or 0 %

If the probability of an event is 1, then we know the event will happen.

What is an event that has a probability of 1? (A triangle will always have3 sides.)  How could you write this answer as a decimal? (1.0)  Sometimes you will hear the weather announcer say that the probability of rain today is 100%. That prediction means that the announcer is certain that it will rain.

  The probability of an event that is certain to happen can bewritten as 1, 1.0, or 100%.

 

Write whether each event is certain, likely, unlikely, or impossible.

We are continuing to review graphs: ordered pairs, line graphs, circle graphs. The test from last week's work is on Monday. The test will be on Friday.
http://www.vickimartinez.com/math_gc_unit3.html#Ordered%20Pairs%20(Coordinates)

A coordinate grid uses points to identify the location of objects.
An Ordered Pair is a pair of numbers that names a point on a coordinate grid.
To plot a point, locate and mark the point named by an ordered pair on a grid.
Always start at 0. Move right and then up.
Over and UP!Ordered Pairs (Coordinates)
pg 212-215

-A line graph connects points to show how data changes over time.
-In a line graph, when the line goes up from left to right, there is an increase in the data.
-When the line goes down, there is a decrease.
-The increase or decrease indicates the trend in the data.

The title of the graph tells what it's about.
The labels on the bottom and the side of the graph tell what kinds of facts
had been gathered.
The scales along the bottom and side tell how much or how many.
The points, or dots, tell the facts.
The lines connecting the points give estimated values about the line graph.

January 20-24, 2009  Please continue reviewing.

Averaging pg. 404-405
 

Another word for average is MEAN. The average or mean is found by adding all the numbers in a set and dividing by the number of numbers that you added.
What is the average of these grades?

95     75     90      100

Step 1: Add up all the numbers.
 95 + 75 + 90 + 100 = 360

Step 2: How many numbers did I add?  4
Divide 360 by 4. Answer: 90 . That means my grade is a 90.

Find the average or mean of each set of data

1.   3, 8, 8, 17

2.    15, 38, 25, 22, 40

3.    115, 38 , 22, 40 


How can you tell if one number is divisible by another?
A number is divisible by another number if when it is divided there is no remainder.

You can use divisibility rules to decide if one number is divisible by another.
Divisibility Rules
 A whole number is divisible by 2 if the ones digits are even.

(That means that if the last number is even the whole number can be divided by 2.)

Example:
These numbers are divisible by 2 because the last number is even: 22,           78,            236
Check these with your calculator.
22 ÷ 2 = 11  (no remainder)

 A whole number is divisible by 3 if the sume of its digits is divisible by 3.

(That means that when you add up the numbers, if the answer you get can be divided by 3, then that entire number can be divided evenly by 3 with no remainder.)
Example:
27    2 + 7 = 9  Can I divide? 9 ÷ 3 = 3. (I can divide 2 + 7 and not get a remainder.)That means that 27 is divisible by 3.
231   2 + 3 + 1 = 6  Can I divide? 6 ÷ 3 = 2 That means that 231 is divisible by 3. 

Check these numbers: 36     97     42     126
(Add up the digits. Divide the sum by 3)

  A whole number is divisible by 5 if the ones digit is a 0 or a 5.
That means that if the last number is a 0 or a 5, you can divide by 5.

Example
These numbers are divisible by 5 because they end in 5.
45     805   85   2005 Check with your calculator.

These numbers are divisible by 5 because they end in 0.
90   10     200    5130 Check with your calculator.

A whole number is divisible by 9 if the sum of the digits is divible by 9.

That means that if you add up the digits of the number and you can divide the answer by 9 with no remainder, than that number is divisible by 9.
Example:
9,       36      189

36        3 + 6 = 9.      9 divided by 9 = 1. So 36 is divisible by 9.
Try the other numbers with your calculator.

A whole number is divisible by 10 if the number ends in 0.

These numbers end in 0. That means I can divide them by 10 with no remainder.

Divisor - the number by which another number is divided. (text pg. 146)
Example 32 ÷ 4 = 8      4 is the divisor

Dividend - the dividend is the number to be divided . (text pg. 146)
Example:  32÷ 4 = 8   32 is the dividend.

Quotient - the answer to a division problem.
Example: 32 ÷ 4 = 8    8 is the quotient.

Divisible - Can be divided by another number without leaving a remainder.
Example: 10 is divisible by 2 because I can divide 2 into 10 without having a remainder.

Use Fact Families to help you to divide.

2 x 5 = 10
5 x 2 = 10
10 ÷ 2 = 5
10 ÷ 5 = 2

December 8-12, 2008
This week in math we will review the test we took on Monday. Some of the kids need a little more work on the algebra section. Check with your child. This is a leap skill. After that we will be working on multiplication of 2 digits by 2 digits. It is essential for the kids to know their facts. We will also be reviewing a different form of multiplying that some kids find easier to do: lattice multiplication. More information can be found on this page: http://pangea.tec.selu.edu/~vmartinez/ETEC644/math_gc_unit2.html#multip_lattice 


December 1-5, 2008
Please study division and multiplication facts daily. It is one of the most important things you can do to improve student skills and prepare for the leap test. Success in this will bring confidence in completing other related activities.

The kids have found some fun sites for review: www.mathfactcafe.com and http://www.wildmath.com/
