Yesterday the kids' test corrections were due, plus their poem. We read their poems, finished processing the test and began discussing Chapter 8, The Mathematics of Chance.
Today we met right at the beginning of fourth period and hit the road for Elmo's for lunch. What about the math? Well, we schlepped our Jacobs books to Elmo's and had class in the middle of the restaurant! Covered much of the introduction to the chapter via the first set (basic definitions of probability and such).
Obviously when you think of games of chance and probability you will think of card games and dice games--and you'd be exactly right! That's why you'll be hearing, "We played blackjack in math today!" Rest assured, there is a mathematical reason behind all of this game playing. :)
