Lauren-Riley

Lauren Riley! The big idea of the Floam, making connections, was showing us how all the subjects help each other when we learn. We know the big ideas of the subjects and we connect them together to learn more. You need each to know how to do the other. You have to know how to read the directions to make a plan. You have to know math to know the amounts of ingrediants to add. You have to know the science to know how to fix mistakes you've made. We start off with a basic knowledge of all subjects and then build onto it, this is how we make connections. Recipes can be symbolics of life, because people need directions to get through it, recipes take completely different things and bind them together to make something needed or wanted. School is an example of a recipe.

Patterns Today I learned about patterns, patterns are something that repeats itself, there are different kinds of patterns such as numbers or shapes. There's also formulas to solve for patterns. Patterns can be found anywhere such as geography. I would like to learn about long division next, I need clarification on it. My "Aha!" moment was when I learned how to plug in the numbers in the formula for number patterns.

Probability Today I learned about probability, probability is the chance that something will happen. 0% chance mean it won't happen, 25% chance means its not likely to happen. mean chance means there is half chance that it will happen. 75% chance means its more likely to happen. 100% means it will happen. There are two types of probability, they are independent and dependent. Dependent means two things rely on one another such as pulling a marble from a bag, not replacing it then pulling another. Independent means they aren't relying on each other such as pulling a marble then pulling a card from a deck. My "Aha!" moment was clarifying the difference between independent and dependent events. I would still like to review long division.
