1. What percent of this grid is shaded?
Percent – a percent is a ratio in which the
first term is compared to 100.
To write a visual as a percent – Count!:
first write as a fraction, then convert to a
decimal. Convert the decimal to a
percent.
Remember – think of percent as per
hundred.
To change a decimal to a percent →
move the decimal to the right (→) two
places.
Example: .234 = 23.4%
To change a fraction to a percent →
divide the numerator (top number) by the
denominator (bottom number). Move the
decimal to the right (→) two places.

The students will
a) describe the mean as balance point; and
b) describe which measure of center is appropriate for a given purpose.
HINTS and NOTES
1.
Mean =
Mean as Balance Point-The mean can
also be defined as the point on a
number line where the data distribution
is balanced. The sum of all the
distances from the mean of all points
above the mean is equal to the sum of
all the distances from the mean of all
data below the mean.
Median – middle number in a set of
ordered data
Mode – the item that occurs most often
Measures of CenterWhen should I use mean, median, or
mode?
Mean- works well for data with no very
high or very low numbers. (NO
OUTLIERS).
Median-Use when data sets have a
couple of values that are much higher or
much lower than the other numbers.
(USE WHEN THERE ARE OUTLIERS)
Mode-Use when you have identical
values or when data is in a yes or no
survey.

The students will
a) compare and contrast dependent and independent events; and
b) determine probabilities for dependent and independent events.
HINTS & NOTES
Independent Event- the outcome of
one event has no effect on the outcome
of the other (REPLACE ITEMS,
SPINNERS AND DICE).
Dependent Event-the outcome of one
event is influenced by the outcome of
the other (DO NOT REPLACE ITEMS).
The probability of an event occurring
is a ratio between 0 and 1. A
probability of 0 means the event will
never occur. A probability of 1 means
the event will always occur.
Always write probability as a fraction
first (
), then
change it to a decimal or percent if
needed
