Casino Game Requirements for Applied Math

Probability Game



Create a new casino style game based on chance. Your game should be fun, easy to play and profitable! Each turn at the game will cost players 1 ticket to play. If they win, you will have to give them a jackpot based off of the probability of winning. Whomever gets the most tickets will win a fabulous prize!



Requirements:

You will need to provide :

For the players:

* Everything that players will need to play the game. Playing pieces, board, cards, dice, etc.
* A sign with the name of your game, the likelihood of winning, and the # of tickets that can be won.

For Ms. C:

* Clearly written rules.
* A visual that shows how you determined the probability of winning.





Ms C will provide:

time to work on the project in class.

20-30 players

space to show the games.



Of course the game should show effort, have correct spelling, be attractive to look at, etc. You want as many people as possible to play your game! The more players, the more tickets you make!

Griffin's Nest Buddies

The Griffin's Nest is a peer mentoring group that pairs AES students and GBS students. Here are a few pictures of some of our buddies working on decorating pumpkins for the Halloween season.

The Griffin's Nest has been meeting together every week since the start of school.

GBS Griffins also meet on Fridays to learn leadership and social skills to improve their communication with their buddies and everyone!

Hallway Videos

Our 5th grade mathematicians were featured in some videos to help students learn better hallway behaviors. 

They are a hoot! 

You can check them out on our schooltube account HERE

Quarter One Grades

ELP Quarter One grades are in, as report cards go home this coming week. Please feel free to call, email or visit to talk about any questions you might have about how grades were determined. I love to talk about student work and brainstorm about solutions as needed!



Also, please remember that ELP is for stretching and enriching! It is very exciting having so many ELPers (approximately 80!!) but students' core subjects are what needs to be a primary focus. Several students are taking temporary breaks until the middle of Quarter 2 so that they can focus on getting caught up on work in other classes. Please let me know if you need help with this.

You can come and work during 8th block every day except Tuesdays . I am happy to help you with ELP work or any other work you need to do. Some students have been coming to do silent reading or meet with other ELP students, etc. See you soon!

New Birds at the Feeders

We have been seeing lots of birds at our feeders, although with the time change, we are having to get used to seeing them at new times! The birds don't wait around just because we sleep an hour later!

Lately we have seen a flock of pigeons and we have been learning a lot about pigeon color morphs and behavior. Stay tuned for some fast facts about our feathered friends from some of the birders.

Recently sighted birds include: blue heron ( in the wetlands), tufted titmouse, pigeon, mourning dove, bluejay, finches, crow (on property, but not at feeder) and unidentified woodpeckers.

Costume Design Work

Costume Design class has been an active and creative group. Our designers are currently working on a group project to research a time period and create sketches of the costumes for a short play based on the story of Rumpelstiltskin. Students are researching the 1600 and 1700s. Other students are working with a film noir version of the tale. They are studying the 1940s. Here are some of the ladies in action...

Birding Creates Bird Friendly Space

Here are some of our birders working on a bird friendly space outside of the ELP room. They did a great job. We are already seeing several species of birds at our feeders. Special thanks goes to Find-Us-Farm in Hancock for donating plants for the space.


Digging a hole for the plants...

Teamwork gets the tree in the right spot

                getting  hands dirty moving sod

just where should the bush go?

Here we are at Find-Us-Farm with Mr. Lohmiller

THANKS SO MUCH!

Taking a break, job well done!

Applied Math Class Pictures

Here are some recent snapshots of some of the students in Applied Math working on logic puzzles. Here is a link the puzzle that they are working on in most of the pictures. I love seeing the different strategies and visuals that the students use to organize their thinking...

Could you solve this puzzle??

Bird Update 10/28

Mackenzie observed the following birds from 1:40-2:10 at our feeder area

3 pigeons
10 blue jays --all at once!

Applied Math Project Requirements

 Please Note: This project is due at the beginning of class on Friday, Nov 13th. 


Please make sure that you use every piece of clothing at least once! Thanks and good luck


1. Look at the post below to see Mark's potential outfits

2. Figure out the probability of him wearing any one combination

3. Eliminate any unacceptable choices ( for example, the white and green shirt, lax tie and striped pants would be too much!)

4. Calculate the new likelihoods of choosing any one (acceptable) outfit.

5. Create a visual of your work. This can be a tree diagram, a chart, etc. The completed visual should show and label all of the acceptable combinations as well as show the likelihood of choosing any one outfit.

6. Be ready to present your work to the class. Anyone who gets a 90% or above can help choose an actual outfit for Mark to wear to work one day. ( and yes, it can be a silly one)


Don't forget to follow the rubric!
