OK, so the other day was not the last straw. THe last straw was today. We started a new unit on Probability. Lots of fun activities and hands on lessons. We started yesterday, and the discussion centered around the lottery and whether or not you ave a good chance of winning. THis lead to today's lesson. We first read an article about the PowerBall lottery, where lots of people had the exact same combination of winning numbers (They missed the PowerBall). THen there were some questions to answer.
That part wasn't bad. THe next part involved some thinking - probabilities when you roll one or 2 dice. I got so tired of "What do we do?" THe directions said "List all combinations of rolling 2 dice. Remember, there are 36 combinations" THis is straight forward, and they are working in their groups . . . . . . . . . . . so of course there are a million questions of "what do we do?" Third Period was the worst (Imagine that; this is home to the knuckle heads and goofballs!)
All I can say is "Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
