Hey everyone!
Welcome to the 2nd 9 Weeks! We're still studying SOL 6.16 (probability of independent/dependent events), but I wanted to post some interesting links from class. Enjoy! Remember, our quiz will be on FRIDAY!
Plinko- A great probability-related game (catch it on The Price is Right, on CBS at 11am):

SPECIAL NOTE: PLEASE RETURN YOUR GREEN FEDERAL SURVEY FORM ASAP! When this is returned, it means JYMS gets needed federal funding (read: money) for what we need- computers, chairs, paper, coffee...well, maybe not coffee!
SPECIAL NOTE 2: Remediation sessions are held after school on WEDNESDAYS. See me if you're attending. Please ensure children are picked up from JYMS at 3:15pm.
