6/08 Review
6/09 Probability and Counting Test

Remember, The Parrot's Theorem is the last day of each week with a wrap-up assignment in class on the 18th. We will spend four days of class reviewing before our final on the 19th. Details to follow.

Counting with repeats

Counting continues with many kinds of repeats to be taken into account.

5/12  HW p.647-648/21-27 by 3's, 34-38, 40, 42
5/13  HW finish worksheet of extra problems

Counting

Today we talked about ways of counting possibilities.  We will not exhaust the topic for several class periods.

Here is the homework:
p.631/Activity
p.640-641/31-39 odd, 43, 47, 51,52, 55, 56, 61, 62

The activity is similar to the pizza possibility that we covered in class but this time, instead of figuring out how many pizza combinations are possible, you have committed to the two-topping pizza and want to figure out how many of those are possible.  It will also provide practice drawing possibility tree diagrams.

Parrot's Theorem

Here is the Parrot's Theorem syllabus (all dates are A-Block.  G-Block is the next day except 6/18):

5/07  Start the book with me reading Ch 1.     HW read Ch 2-5
5/14  Show what you know; reading.              HW read Ch 6-9
5/21  Show what you know; reading.              HW read Ch 10-14
5/28  Show what you know; reading.              HW read Ch 15-18
6/04  Show what you know; reading.              HW read Ch 19-23
6/11  Show what you know; reading.              HW read Ch 24-Epilogue
6/18  Write a Prologue/Post-Epilogue/Deleted Scene

Extra Problems for the 3/4 Exam

If you did not do well on this exam (I am thinking lower than a B-) then you,should do these problems for two reasons:

1)  They will help raise your grade on the exam
2)  They will help keep this from happening on the final

So here is the deal:
  a)  correct all problems on the test.
  b)  do the problems both graphically and algebraically (if possible)
 c)  do the following problems from the book (the number refers to the problem):
        #2  Page 342 #47-49
        #3  Page 547 #14,15 and Page 553 #20
        #4  Page 517 #24,26,28
        #5  Page 464 # 48, Page 465  #63,64, Page 821 #31
        #6  Page 473 #35
        #7  Page 68 #31,32, and Solve  A)    B)  
        #8  Page 542  #22,24
        #9  Page 971 #4 ,  Page 970 #14
        #10 Page 618 #28,  Page 611 #42
        #11 Use the directions given on the test for the following:
                A)  
                B)  
  d)  If you got lower than a C- you must come see me after school or during a free block.
  e)These problems are due on Monday, May 11th.

The equations are not working on the web page, go to the FirstClass conference.

If you got an A you probably want to correct the problems anyway because that is the way you are.  If you got a B, you should correct them anyway (and maybe do the extra problems for the ones that went poorly).
