Math Week 3-7-16

7th: 
  • Students understand the vocabulary of probability.
  • Students understand that probability is expressed between 0 and 1.
  • Students find the probability of simple events.

CCSS: 7.SP. Investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate
probability models. 5. Understand that the probability of a chance event is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses the likelihood of the event occurring. Larger numbers indicate greater likelihood. A probability near 0 indicates an unlikely event, a probability around 1/2 indicates an event that is neither unlikely nor likely, and a probability near 1 indicates a likely event.

8th:
  • Students understand dilations and how to create a figure’s image on the coordinate grid after it undergoes dilation.
  • Students understand scale factor.
  • Students know and use the Pythagorean Theorem to find missing side lengths

CCSS: 8.G.Understand congruence and similarity using physical models, transparencies, or geometry software. 4. Understand that a two-dimensional figure is similar to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations; given two similar two dimensional figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the similarity between them.
8.G.Understand and apply the Pythagorean Theorem. 6. Explain a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse. 7. Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to determine unknown side lengths in right triangles in real-world and mathematical problems in two and three dimensions.
