I have wanted students to spend some more time working on the Reading Responses.  From my observations, they were being rushed through too quickly.  I posted a sample that I did and went through it, step by step.  It is due tomorrow, but I think I will allow it to be due on Monday in case any students want to make changes to it and not rush to complete it for tomorrow.

As an introductory review for the Grade 8 unit on Probability, I am going to use the Internet Review chart to have the students be responsible for completing this once they have selected and played a variety of games involving Probability.
