Our next extra-curricular activity is skiing/snowboarding at Glen Eden Ski Resort. Our next trip is Wednesday, March 4. Please do not order lunch for these days; it will not be saved nor will a reimbursement be given. We will be leaving at 7:00 AM and returning by 4:00 PM at the latest. All rentals are included, however students are more than welcome to bring their own. Please do not order hot lunch for these days as we will be eating lunch at the ski hill – students are welcome to bring money to purchase food and drink items. Students must ensure they are dressed in appropriate ski gear; warm socks, long johns with comfy clothes, snow pants, warm mitts, a face protector (if possible) and a ski jacket. Please note that if students chose skiing, they will ski all three times. If students pick snowboarding, they will snowboard all three times. All students will have to pass each level before they are granted permission to ski on the big hill, no matter what their experience.
March Break Camps
Forms have been sent home regarding SJA’s awesome Adventure Camp. The wonderful camp will run from Monday to Friday both weeks of the March Break (March 9-13 & March 16-20) and is offered to student from JK to Grade 6. Field trips will take place on Thursday afternoons. Meal plans are also included if you chose to do so. Cash or QuickBooks payments only please. Don’t delay; register today! Contact Ms. Hughes at bsmith@stjudesacademy.com for any questions.
We began the day with anti-bullying day activities.
Then we had Music.
When we returned we did some questions as a class to ensure we understand experimental and theoretical probability. Sethumi and some other students did an experiment where they rolled the dice 100 times. We first figured out the theoretical probability was about 16.7 percent or 17 percent (when rounded to the nearest whole number) for the probability of each number coming up. The students then did the experiment 100 times and using this information we found the relative frequency for each number coming up. We figured out the fraction, percent and decimal for each one. We also ensured that our decimals added up to 1 whole and each percent added up to 100.
We did another example with a coin to ensure we understand theoretical and experimental probability. To sum up: theoretical probability is the likelihood of an event occurring and experimental probability are the results that we get after doing the actual experiment.
Learning Goals: explore and apply theoretical probability
Students then moved onto textbook questions.
Success Criteria:
-I understand that: theoretical probability is when the outcome of an experiment are equally likely, the probability of any outcome is the ratio of the number of outcomes of favourable outcomes to the number of possible outcomes
-theoretical probability is found by analyzing the possible outcomes
-the more times an experiment is conducted, the closer the experimental probability is to the theoretical probability
I can:
-find the theoretical probability based on information given
-I can use long or short division to find the theoretical probability
After first recess and lunch we had French.
Next we did more practice with experimental and theoretical probability.
The rest of the day was spent working on our brochure on the developing country we chose for our summative project.
Homework:
1. Read Daily
2. Math pg. 418-9 Questions 1, 2, and 4
3. UOI - 3 sections of brochure complete
