Standard Math:
Standard Math students will be working on the following AKS:
6.b approximate the probability of a chance event by collecting data on an event and observing its long-run relative frequency will eventually approach the theoretical probability (e.g., when rolling a number cube 600 times, predict that a three or a six would be rolled roughly 200 times, but probably not exactly 200 times) (7.PR.6.2)
6.c develop a probability model and use it to find probabilities of simple events; compare experimental and theoretical probabilities of simple events; if the probabilities are not close, explain possible sources of the discrepancy (7.PR.6.3)
6.d develop a uniform probability model by assigning equal probability to all outcomes and use the model to determine probabilities of events (7.PR.6.4)
6.e develop a probability model, which may not be uniform, by observing frequencies in data generated from a chance process (7.PR.6.5)
6.f use appropriate graphical displays (i.e., histogram, bar graphs, box plots, dot plots) and numerical summaries from data distributions with categorical or quantitative (i.e., numerical) variables as probability models to draw informal inferences about two samples or populations (7.PR.6.6)
Students are encouraged to complete 20 minutes of practice each day. IReady Math is also available to help students grow!
Accelerated Math:
Accelerated Math students will focus on these AKS:
Social Studies: This week, students will begin exploring the geography and environmental issues of South and East Asia.
AKS 50a: locate on a world and regional political-physical map: Ganges River, Huang He (Yellow River), Chang Jiang (Yangtze) River, Bay of Bengal, Indian Ocean, Sea of Japan, South China Sea, Yellow Sea, Gobi Desert, Taklimakan Desert, Himalayan Mountains, and Korean Peninsula
AKS50b: locate on a world and regional political-physical map the countries of China, India, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, and Vietnam
AKS51.a: explain the causes and effects of pollution on the Chang Jiang (Yangtze) River and Ganges River by analyzing primary and secondary sources
AKS51.b: explain the causes and effects of air pollution and flooding in India and China by identifying and writing about issues and/or problems and alternative solutions
AKS52.a: describe how the mountain, desert, and water features of Southern and Eastern Asia impact trade and affect where people live by constructing and/or analyzing charts, tables, maps and/or diagrams
Unit 10 Summative Assessment on March 28th. Students are encouraged to continuously review key vocabulary.
