Measuring Rectangles & Intro to Multiplication of Integers

LARGE GROUP
We discussed the Problem of the Week, the X/O problem, and how experimental probability begins to approach theoretical probability as you do more trials. Then we finished talking about Measuring Rectangles, and how the dimensions are in a constant ratio no matter what they are measured by. Finally, we began thinking about multiplication with negative numbers. Class notes may be downloaded here for class 7A and class 7B.
