Mrs. Ryon's 8th Grade Blog!: 7th period - Area Model Application Problem

Mrs. Ryon's 8th Grade Blog!: 7th period - Area Model Application Problem: "Dan and Ella are paying $4 to play a game at the school carnival. Ella is blindfolded. Dan is given 7 coins to place in 2 different cups..."

the combination with the highest probability is purple, purple, purple, purple, green, green in cup 1 and green in cup 2. because the probability of getting a gold coin is 2/6.
the combination with the least probibility is everything in cup 1 and nothing in cup 2. the probability of this is 0.

Mrs. Ryon's 8th Grade Blog!: TAKS reflection - 7th period

today on the math taks it was kind of easy in the beggining but hard in the middle then easy at the end again. mostly because the middle was all word problems and i got 5 houres of sleep last night and i kept fallilg asleep. but my problem solveing stratagy was mostly guase on the hard ones and do the work on the semi easy ones. i didnt study at all for tha taks test other than what we did in class.
