Our classes finished the Probability Unit with the unit test before spring break. Scores should be online at this time. There are two scores for the unit evaluation: the unit 7 test and the computation checkup both dated 3/23/12. A small "M" in the grade slot indicates the test is "missing". Unfortunately several papers were turned in with no names and a few weren't turned in at all. We'll attempt to match students with nameless papers after break. If a student can't be matched with a finished test, there will be an opportunity for a retake of an equivalent examination to avoid reciving a score of zero on missing papers. Of course, students who were absent on March 23 will be given the opportunity to take the original exam when we return for full credit.
The next unit of study will explore proportional thinking through the study of rates and ratios. The skills focused on throughout the unit will include:
1. Using rate tables and unit rates to solve problems;
2. Using cross multiplication to solve proportions;
3. Solving percent problems;
4. Setting up and solving ratio problems;
5. Identifying pairs of corresponding sides in similar polygons;
6. Using a size-change factor to solve problems;
7. Evaluating expressions using the order of operations (PEMDAS);
8. Solving perimeter and area problems (including circles and using pi);
9. Dividing decimal numbers.
