Pre Algebra II May 12 - 16
This week in Pre Algebra II we continue the chapter on probability, statistics and interpreting data. If you can, speak to your student about probabilities. Ask what they are learning, make up problems about probabilities using dice, cards, coins, etcetera.
In this chapter our learning objectives include:
Exploring probability through experimentation
Learning the difference between theoretical and experimental probability
Classifying and calculating independent and dependent probabilities
Representing possible outcomes in tables, grids and tree diagrams
Analyzing questions for bias
Learning to select representative samples
Classifying questions as open or closed option.
Determining whether a correlation exists in a scatter plot
Determining if a causality is reasonable for a given correlation
