The Road Ahead

  • In the next two weeks, we will be completing our final unit of new material before the CST (3/26 to 4/6).
  • Following that will be one week of spring break (4/7 to 4/15).
  • When we return, we will spend two weeks preparing for the CST by reviewing (4/16 to 4/27)
  • 4/28 - Saturday Academy (optional morning opportunity to take a full practice CST)
  • The CST begins the next week (4/30 to 5/4).
Probability & Statistics
This unit is taken from the 6th grade textbook, which your child does not have.  Homework will be given on worksheets from class.  If you would like access to the 6th grade textbook online, you can go to the textbook website (http://my.hrw.com) and sign in as the user 6math16 and the password johnmuir.

This Week
This week, we will introduce probability and statistics and explore experimental and theoretical probability, sample spaces, and disjoint events.  

Homework for the week is as follows:
Wednesday (3/28) - Sample Spaces worksheet
Friday (3/30) - No HW Quiz today
