Dr. Kissel’s Math Class by Ivan Legorreta

In Dr. Kissel’s Math Class we have been learning about probability and integers
as 6th grade comes to an end. We studied probability and took a test on it. If
you roll a die, each number has a 1 out of 6 chance. But if you roll 2 dice, 7 has a
greater chance of being the total because there are more combinations that add
to 7. We took 2 tests on integers. One was an introduction and the other was
about performing operations with integers. Integers are negative and positive
numbers and 0. The numbers need to be whole numbers, not fractions. If you
multiply two positive numbers or two negative numbers you get a positive
number. If you multiply a positive and a negative number the answer is a
negative number. We are also working on an Integers WebQuest. We need
to research about the history of negative numbers and reflect on how we use
integers in everyday life. We also need to play some games having to do with the
coordinate plane and rate them. It has been interesting.
