Tuesday HW = Midterm Review!

1.) Tonight please COMPLETE AND SCORE the "pinata" free response question provided in class (or below)---this is some review for next week's midterm!

  • We have questions on our midterm that challenge us to work with expected value--reviewed with this question!
  • We also have a probability free response on our midterm that is similar to this context in the sense that you have work to calculate "and" probabilities, but the probability of successfully breaking the pinata changes with each hit
  • In other words....this is a good problem to use for review! :)
Here is the homework free response question:
And here is the answer key and scoring rubric you can use to grade your free response:




2.) STAMPS are due Thursday (or Friday)! Start counting now!
  • Count your stamps!
  • Write the total on the front! Double check!
    • Your total must be correct! If I randomly select your name and double check your total and it's incorrect you will be given a 0 for your stamp grade.
  • Get these all together--put them in a bag, an envelope, staple them--somehow get these all together
  • If it's easier to rip a stamp off the corner of a paper than give the whole paper--do that! 

3.) Check out the image below for some suggestions about how to study:


4.) If you are interested in taking an MCC class for credit please let me know ASAP!
  • The course is MCC's "Math 138," or like our Math Modeling course
  • This is a college algebra class--a lot of the stuff you learned in Algebra 2 and PreCalc 
  • The course is taught by Ms. Beauchamp
  • The class starts January 18th and ends May 10th
    • Class is from 3:00-5:50 every Thursday
    • You must provide your own transportation
  • The class meets once a week so you must be highly responsible and do a substantial amount of work independently
    • Grades will only be based on your quizzes and tests in class--your grade is only based on your ability/performance, not effort (it's a college class!)
  • There are only 15 spots available
    • Highly motivated students will be given first priority
  • There is a permission slip! See me the day we're back!
    • Or, email Joanna White (jwhite1@manchestercc.edu) if you have questions
