--Identify and describe the number of possible arrangements of several objects, using a tree diagram or the Fundamental (Basic) Counting Principle.
--Create and solve problems involving the measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and the range of a set of data.
--Given a problem situation, will collect, analyze, display, and interpret data, using a variety of graphical methods, including frequency distributions, line plots, histograms, stem-and-leaf plots, box-and-whisker plots, and scattergrams.

Students will be working on patterns this week. There was no homework Tuesday, however, there will be homework from the rest of the week. After we review patterns today, students will move forward to apply the patterning skill to determine functions. This last strand of SOLs is a culmination of the skills learned throughout the year. It is also the topic of a major portion of the SOL test! Please be on the look out for homework practice sheets. It's critical that students complete homework to ensure their comprehension of topics discussed in class.
Pre-Algebra Update
The last strand of SOLs for PreAlgebra encompasses the concepts taught throughout the year. We are applying our graphing skills to draw lines on a graph representing a function. These functions are listed as an algebraic equation determined from a table of values. Homework this week will include practice sheets for students to determine the slope of a line, the y-intercept, plot points on a graph, creating rules from graphs and tables, and creating tables from rules. By next week, these students will apply this skill to real world problems by looking at trends, predicting outcomes for a trend based on the linear equations (rules). It sounds complicated as I write this, but once the student finds the rhythm for this skill, it will become clear as a bell. Really....trust me!
