Counting and Probability

This unit starts with ways of counting possibilities.  It takes a few days to learn all of the counting techniques.  We then use that to determine the probablility of different outcomes.

5/09  Counting Day 1
          HW p.631/Activity  and  p.640-641/31-39 odd, 43, 47, 51,52, 55, 56, 61, 62

The activity is similar to the pizza possibility that we covered in class but this time, instead of figuring out how many pizza combinations are possible, you have committed to the two-topping pizza and want to figure out how many of those are possible.  It will also provide practice drawing possibility tree diagrams.
