Ok it is really sad that I have to do this but so many of you do not have dice at home. What do you do for fun. Ask for board games for your birthdays.
Click the dice and you will be linked to a site that has a virtual dice. Add the total of the two rolls to get the sum. Record these sums in a list.
When you get to the link click the dice to access the virtual dice.

Be prepared. Test tomorrow!
Take a short Quiz
or this one
Here are the questions handed out in class today. Some of them will be on your test.
1. Vinnie received a 300 piece jigsaw puzzle for his birthday. The following times indicate how long it took him to complete the puzzle the first six times he did it:
54 min, 36, min, 34 min, 29 min, 27 min, 28 min
3. Kenny recorded the number of baskets he made out of ten attempts during each basketball practice. After 9 practices his results were:
4, 7, 5, 6, 3, 7, 2, 3, 7

Tuesday Homework
Here are todays slides
Getting ready for the test of Thursday. You need to created a 4 x 4 magic square. Please use the integers 1-16 to make all the rows and columns vertically, horizontally and diagonally add up to the same sum.

What patterns do you notice in the square? Are yours the same as other peoples patterns? Can't answer this question go to the chat box and put in your pattern and see if anyone else has something different.
Mean Median and Mode

Monday September 15
Hi everyone. I am not here for the morning but I am here on the blog. Mr. Angeles will get you through the morning. All work is to be completed for tomorrow. Please work hard to get it done on time.
1. Krypto. Todays numbers are 1, 12, 6, 11, 8, 4 = 9 For those of you who do not remember the rules you need to use the red numbers to create the number 9. Remember the order of operations and remember to write out your equations horizontally if possible.
2. Similar to the triangle questions we have been doing in class you are now going to make a Magic square. You may only use the integers 1-9 and all rows horizontally, vertically and diagonally need to have the same sum. If you think you have a correct answer you can ,at home, with the following link.

Two more problems for today...

Two more problems for today...
4. The number of minutes that trains were late to arrive at a station was recorded.
- Find the Mean Median and Mode
- Which measure would you use to argue that too many trains are late each day?

5.The table below gives the number of accidents each year at a road intersection.
- Work out the Mean Median and Mode
- A road safety group want to get the council to make this junction safer.
Which measure will they use to argue for this? - The council don't want to spend money on the road junction.
Which measure will they use to argue that safety work is not necessary?
