Probability

This week we wrap up geometry with a review of area and perimeter. We learned about volume of rectangular prisms and the formula LxWxH. Students also learned to estimate circumference.

Next week we will spend a few days reviewing fractions and working more deeply with mixed numbers and improper fractions.

We'll spend a few days exploring probability through various activies including pulling a colored cube from a bag, rolling dice and spinning two spinners. Students will explain possible outcomes through fractions and learn the language of probability.
