7th Grade - Previewing Probability

Today we completed our Mean, Median and Mode unit by taking a short online assessment. Now you will spend some time previewing our next unit on probability. Your first lesson will be tomorrow.

WORK: 

READ the first probability lesson in your textbook on pages 186 - 194. 

Previewing material before a lesson is a great habit to get into. Through the act of previewing, you are able to make connections before seeing the material in a lesson. This will help you understand and engage more actively with the concepts being covered in class.
