Geometry – This week Geometry students began a unit on probability. We started with a review of basic probability terms and concepts. Then we will move on to more complex topics like combined and conditional probability.
Data Science – This week students looked at results of ongoing research and experiments from various universities. Using various tables and graphs they analyzed results, determining if the hypothesis was proven correct or incorrect and what specific data supported their conclusion. Students looked at data about warblers being detected among different types of foliage, behavior of daffodil cichlids when isolated or near other fish, and temperature data in the Rocky Mountains. Students are refining their ability to specify which parts of data are truly helpful in making claims and how to clearly communicate this information.
