Caribou Math Contest is an online mathematics contest that is held 6 times per year. Last year we did a trial run with a few students from Grade 6 and above. This year we are going to offer it to students in Grades 3 and up. This is something that will be done on a student’s own time. This will not be a focus of our math program. That being said, Dr. Kaur and Mr. Lee-Guide have offered to run a math club on Wednesday morning beginning at 8:00 AM for those who are interested. There is a $15 annual fee that must be paid and the test times begin at 7:15 AM. Committed students will write the tests on:
Wednesday, October 17th, 2018
Wednesday, November 14th, 2018
Wednesday, January 16th, 2019

Data Management Math test
We began the day with Math. We reviewed our homework from last night and then moved on to applying our knowledge of mean, median and mode to specific situations.
Mean - When people say "average" they usually are talking about the mean. You can figure out the mean by adding up all the numbers in the data and then dividing by the number of numbers. For example, if you have 12 numbers, you add them up and divide by 12. This would give you the mean of the data.
Median - The median is the middle number of the data set. It is exactly like it sounds. To figure out the median you put all the numbers in order (highest to lowest or lowest to highest) and then pick the middle number. If there is an odd number of data points, then you will have just one middle number. If there is an even number of data points, then you need to pick the two middle numbers, add them together, and divide by two. That number will be your median.
Mode - The mode is the number that appears the most.

Mode - The mode is the number that appears the most.
Mode is most easily understandable and quickly visible. Many decisions in day-to-day life is taken on modal concept. Like, going to watch a movie where most people are going. Or choosing colour of car as the one most people are buying.
We worked on some examples as a class and then began our homework about calculating and determining the mean, median and mode in specific situations.
Then we had French.
After first recess and lunch, we got into our literature circles and fulfilled our specific roles within our groups. Ms. Jaskolka will sit with one group every day and take part in our literature circles and observe each of us in our roles.
Next, we worked on our posters about electrical safety. Students need to ensure they are following the specific criteria for each assignment. We are applying our knowledge about electrical safety into our posters on our chosen topic about electrical safety.
We had physical education at the end of the day.
Have a wonderful weekend!
