Unit of Inquiry
Students will be working on their summative debates all week. Students shared their research ideas with their group members and got any feedback from their peers that could help develop their argument. Once students shared their ideas they began to fill out their graphic organizers for their main reason and it's top 3 supporting details. Students will continue with this tomorrow.

Inquiry into Math
We watched a video on how to create Tree Diagrams which helped us better understand how to create and interpret information from a Tree Diagram.

We then learned how to make two different types of predictions when it comes to probability. One type of prediction is made before you complete an experiment. For this type of prediction, you are predicting how many times each outcome will occur out of a specific number of trials. Trials are the amount of times you complete an event. (Ex. 3 trials of flipping a coin means you will flip a coin 3 times). Students are to use the probability for each outcome to help them predict how many times that outcome will occur. To predict this, you are to divide the total number of trials by your total number of outcomes. Your quotient then tells you how many times each outcome should occur when the probability is the same for each outcome.

The second type of prediction is when you have to determine how many of each outcome are involved in an event. For this type of prediction, students know the total number of outcomes possible, but don't know what their outcome options are. Based on the outcomes from the set amount of trials they have to complete, students will predict how many of each outcome exist. It's important to note: their predictions do not have to be correct, they have to be reasonable based on their results.

Students began working on their homework and completing some of the experiments in order to make their predictions.

Inquiry into Language/ Unit of Inquiry
Students began to work on Lesson 23 in their spelling workbooks. Going forward, students will be required to practice the spelling of the list words they spelled incorrectly on their spelling tests. In addition to these corrections, students will have to write two sentences using these words.
After spelling, students continued to work on their UOI summatives.

AGENDA:
- Math: Probabilities prediction worksheet
- Math review due Wednesday
- Math test Thursday
- Spelling Lesson 23 + Sentences
- Spelling corrections of misspelled words.
