OBJECTIVE: Check the GLE Numbers Here  • To use a rule to generate a table or graph on the graphing calculator [GLE 1.5.1 Identify, extend, or represent patterns and sequences using tables, graphs, or expressions. [RL, MC]] •To use a graphing calculator to compare the tables and graphs of various rules; in particular, to decide whether a given rule defines a straight-line (linear) function by examining graphs [GLE 1.5.1 Use technology to generate graphic representations of linear relationships. [SP]][GLE 1.5.2 Use technology to determine the rule for a linear relationship. [SP, RL]] ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Continue plotting problem 5.1. Start groups on the computers using WinPlot to make their graphs NOTES: Distibute 2 more sheets of graph paper per student for the computer traces. Walk through the winPlot program. HOMEWORK: None

OBJECTIVE: Check the GLE Numbers Here  See 10-25 above. EALR 1.4: Understand and apply concepts and procedures from probability and statistics. TEXT: •To build intuition that probability, or chance, has to do with events that are uncertain but that have a pattern of regularity over the long run •To determine relative frequencies from experimental data and use them to predict behavior over the long run[4.2.1] •To observe that small numbers of trials may produce wide variation in results •To display collected data in graphs or tallies and use them to find experimental probabilities •To recognize equally likely events Test Spec PS01 a) Items may ask students to identify, determine, interpret, and/or express simple probabilities in the form of a ratio, decimal, or percent. ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Unit Test. Continue WinPlot as appropriate. Time Permitting, Distribute and completePages 110 and 111 as a pre-test on probability. NOTES: P110 & P111 is a handout. HOMEWORK: Unit Test

   Simulated Experimental Coin-Toss Data
How many single coin tosses?  
The results of the coin tosses will appear in a pop-up window. If you have pop-ups disabled, you might have to check to see if another window opened in the background.

2. IC Page 22 Problem 3.1..

OBJECTIVE: Check the GLE Numbers Here  See 10-26 above; •To develop strategies for finding experimental probabilities with a new simulation tool: spinners •To understand that to make good decisions based on experimental probabilities, the probabilities must be based on a large number of trials [1.4.8][1.4.9] ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Do and/or evaluate P110 and 111 for placement. If OK then start on Page 22, Using spinners to predict chances Else return to Investigations 1 and 2. Do problem 3.1 NOTES: need page 92 HOMEWORK: P24 #1

2. -Homework: Page 24 Problem #1.......

OBJECTIVE: Check the GLE Numbers Here  •To understand the two ways to obtain probabilities: by gathering data from experiments (experimental probability) and by analyzing possible and favorable outcomes (theoretical probability)[1.4.2] •To understand the relationship between experimental and theoretical probabilities: when an experimental probability is based on a large number of trials, it is a good estimate of the theoretical probability •To develop strategies for finding theoretical probabilities, such as making an organized list of all possible outcomes [1.4.2] •To develop an understanding of the word random ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Page 25 2-4, Page 27 10-12 NOTES: Discuss circle graphs and measuring circles with a protractor.
