1. =Fraction Circles.

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.

OBJECTIVE:  Check the GLE Numbers Here [GLE 3.2.1 Apply prediction and inference skills to make or evaluate conjectures. * Predict the probability of future events based on empirical data. [1.4.2] * Predict the probability of outcomes of experiments and test the predictions. [1.4.2]] TEXT •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 [GLE 1.4.2] ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: From Page 23 = measure the central angles of Kalvin's spinner and make a large copy. Conduct the experiment P22+FF Problem 3.1 and follow-up (on the floor!) Do follow-Up 1-3a/b NOTES:[ Make Up Page 112 1 and 2 for handout ]HOMEWORK: Page 112 1&2 Handout

2. =Warm Up Decimal +/-..

OBJECTIVE: See 11-2 above ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Warm Up - Decimal multiplication and division. Revisit Page 23 Find the common denominator for Kalvin's Spinner. Use a computer to generate data for the number of segments (common denominator) and calculate the pseudo experimental probability for 500 spins. NOTES: Hint: Find the fractional parts of the circle for 10:00, 11:00 and 12:00. Let the numerator represent how many sections of the spinner to count. Use spinner script.
