Computer Lab
Today in computer lab, we learned and reviewed some math skills that can REALLY help us on the CST's. I didn't get to finish all of them, unfortunately, but I still reviewed quite a lot. First, we helped find a special bottle and learned about 2D Shapes. Secondly, I reviewed 3D Shapes and Nets by preventing robots from taking over the world. I'm a hero! After that, I learned that angles can especially help humans beat robots for control of the world in 2100. Next, I learned that weights and measures can definitely help when you sending a package! Well, today in computer lab was a day chock full of mathematical reviews and information. That CST Test better be prepared to get aced!

Computer Lab
Today in computer lab, the class learned about different math skills by using fun activities. First, we learned about frequency diagrams by helping people with the plague, which we can use in "real" life when we make tables or tally up the amount of points a person got in that last game. Secondly, we learned about mean, median, mode, and range while helping robotic creatures. Mean, median, mode, and range help with all different kinds of things, like grades, weight, etc. Lastly, we learned about probability. Of course, a lot of people know about probability already. Heads or tails? That common question comes to mind when talk about probability starts. A life application to this would be when someone bets on something, which I strongly discourage. If there are 10 horses, there is a 1/10 chance of betting on the right horse. Learning about these things using real life applications online was very interesting.
