We have had a great week in BAG class. On Wednesday, we celebrated pi day. Thank you to all who brought in all of the wonderful and round treats. I went home stuffed! Yesterday, we covered 12-2 Permutations and 12-3 Combinations. Today we checked the homework for those 2 sections and then we covered 6-6 Simple Events (probability). The homework for the week-end is to complete Workbook Practice 6-6 (#1-24 all). Remember to write all of your answers in both fraction and decimal form. The test over Chapter 12 (Probability) will be next Thursday. We also need to go over CRCT Packet #3 and CRCT Packet titled Review after Chapter 11. We will do this next week. Be sure to finish either or both of these packets if you have not already done so. Have a great week-end!!

Today we spent a considerable amount of the class time going over the homework. I did not begin new material, because I felt that the students needed more practice on Counting Outcomes. So, the homework for tonight is to complete Workbook Study Guide 12-1 (#1-6 all). We will have pi day tomorrow. Please remember to bring something round to eat and share. I can't wait!
