Article #3 - Feature Article

Step #1 - Plan Topic

* Read an actual feature article from Owl, as well as some student samples.

* Think about the topic of your article and 2 to 3 people that you can interview.

* Your article needs to focus on one thing that all of your subjects have in common;

like winning an award, favourite job, greatest achievement, strangest dream, or a heroic event.

* Important: You HAVE to be able to talk to your subjects of your feature article or talk to someone who personally knows your subject(s).

Step #2 - Collect Information

* Select a topic for your feature article and 2 or 3 people to interview.

* Use the form 'Feature Article - Collecting Information', shared with you in your Language Folder, to help you record information.

* Remember to get as much information as possible from your subjects, as having a lot of details will make writing your rough copy easier.

Step #3 - Rough Copy

* An outline for the rough copy of your feature article has been shared with you in your Language Folder.

* Remember to use paragraph form to write your Lead (Introduction) and Sub-topics.

* Use the ‘Owl Samples’ and ‘Student Samples’ as guidelines for writing your feature article.

* Share your rough copy with me for feedback.

* Take your time! Work at your own pace.

Step #4 - Good Copy will be posted on Tuesday, April 28.

Thursday's Math Lesson - Finding the Probability of Rolling a Seven

1) This tree diagram shows all of the possible outcomes of rolling two dice and adding them together.

Note that the sums of rolling two dice are 2 to 12 but there are 36 possible outcomes, meaning there are

36 different combinations of the dice.

a) Complete the line plot to organize all of the possible outcomes (I have started by completing 2, 3 and 4):

X

X X X

X X X X X

X X X X X X X

X X X X X X X X X

X_____ X _____X______X______X______X_____X______X______X_______X______X_

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Note:

There is only one way to get a sum of 2 = 1 + 1

There are two ways to roll a sum of 3 = 1 + 2 and 2 + 1

There are three ways to get a sum of 4 = 1 + 3, 2 + 2 and 3 + 1

Therefore, the probability of rolling a sum of 2 is 1/36 or 2.8% because there are 36 possible outcomes and only one that results in a sum of 2.

The probability of rolling a sum of 3 is 2/36 or 1/18 or 5.6% and the probability of rolling a 4 is 3/36 or 1/12 or 8.3%

b) How many different ways are there to roll a 7? What is the probability of rolling a 7?

There are 6 ways to roll a 7: 1 + 6, 2 + 5, 3 + 4, 4 + 3, 5 + 2, 6 + 1. So the probability of rolling a 6 is 6/36 or 1/6 or 16.7%

c) If you rolled the dice 24 times, how many times would you expect to roll a 7? 16.7% of 24 or 0.167 x 24 = 4 You would expect to roll a 7 about 4 times.

Monday's Math Lesson - Introduction to Tree Diagrams

Example: Johnny dresses himself in the morning. He can choose a black, brown or white shirt, and black pants or jeans.

Make a tree diagram to show all of the possible outcomes.

Questions:

1) How many possible outcomes are there?

2) What is the probability that Johnny chooses a black shirt and black jeans? (It is NOT Johnny Cash.)

3) What is the probability that Johnny chooses a brown shirt and jeans or a white shirt and jeans?

4) What is the probability that Johnny chooses a red shirt?

5) What is the probability that Johnny chooses jeans (shirt colour does not matter)?

6) What is the probability that Johnny chooses a white shirt?

* To find the probability of a specific event, count the number of chances of the specific event to occur (numerator) and put it over the total number of outcomes (denominator).

Answers:

1) There are 6 possible outcomes.

2) The probability that Johnny chooses a black shirt and black jeans is 1 out of 6 or 1/6.

(If it was Johnny Cash, it would have been 100% or CERTAIN.)

3) The probability that Johnny chooses a brown shirt and jeans or a white shirt and jeans

is 2 out of 6 or 2/6 or 1/3 or 33%.

4) The probability that Johnny chooses a red shirt is 0 out of 6 or 0/6 or 0%.

5) The probability that Johnny chooses jeans is 3/6 or 1/2 or 50%.

6) The probability that Johnny chooses a white shirt is 2 out of 6 or 2/6 or 1/3 or 33%

2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

1) The above line plot shows all of the possible outcomes of the sums of two dice.

a) What is the probability of rolling a 4? The probability of rolling a 4 is 3/36 or 1/12 = 8.3%

b) What is the probability of rolling a multiple of 3? The probability of rolling a 3 is 2/36 or 1/18 = 5.6%

c) What is the probability of rolling a sum that is greater than 7? (>7) The probability of rolling a sum >7 (8, 9, 10, 11, 12) is 15/36 or 5/12 = 41.7%

d) What is the probability of rolling a sum that is less than 6? (<6) The probability of rolling a sum <6 (5, 4, 3, 2,1) is 10/36 or 5/18 = 27.8%

e) If you rolled the dice 100 times, how many times would you expect to roll a sum of 4? 8.3% of 100 is 0.083 x 100 =8.3, you would expect to roll a 4 about 8 times.

Answers to Thursday's Questions

1) Chloe’s parents are buying a car. They want to pick 1 colour at random from 4 possible car colours. Which of the following methods should they use?

b) Use a spinner with 4 equal-sized sections labelled with the 4 possible colours.

2) Cary needs to set up 144 chairs in rows. Each row must have an equal number of chairs. Which method could he use to set up the chairs?

a) 14 rows of 10 chairs (14 x 10) = 144 chairs b) 12 rows of 14 chairs = 168 c) 6 rows of 21 chairs = 126 d) 8 rows of 18 chairs = 144

Therefore, the method that Cary should use is d) 8 rows of 18 chairs

Answers to Wednesday's Questions

1a) Make a tree diagram to show all the possibilities of doing a 'triple flip', flipping a coin three times.

b) How many possible outcomes are there? 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 possible outcomes

c) What is the probability of flipping three heads in a row? 1/8 or 12.5%

d) How many times would you expect to flip three heads in a row if you did 8 triple flips? 12.5% of 8 is 0.125 x 8 = 1 time

How about if you did 40 triple flips? 12.5% of 40 is 0.125 x 40 = 5 times

e) Test your prediction. Perform 8 triple flips and record your results. Did your prediction come true?

f) Continue your test. Perform 32 more triple flips and continue to record your results. How many times did you get 3 heads in a row? Were you close to your prediction?
