Awesome Toucan poster

Here is my goal for reading: Identify key words, which when combined with prior knowledge, will help with understanding.

For reading we had to create a poster of an information report on Animals.

My information report was on Toucans. We read the information and took notes.

We used those notes for the poster.  

Here is a link to my toucan poster. I hope you learn something new.

Enjoy

Do you know anything more about toucans?

whats in the bag?

What's in the bag? A Probability game

Probability is estimating and chances. 

For example, if I had a bag and inside where 4 blue marbles and 2 red marbles, it is more likely for me to get a blue marble than a red marble. That is because there are more blue marbles than red ones.

How to play the game of chance.

What you will need to play the game:

A bag or container

Lego or counters.

How to play:

In the bag put 2 Pink Lego bricks,  2 Blue Lego bricks and 2 Yellow Lego bricks.

Mix it together.

Next estimate what colour you think you will draw out first.

Repeat 6 times.

What was the highest percentage and what was the lowest percentage of bricks removed from the bag.

Here is my What's in the bag?

I put in 2 orange Lego bricks

2 green Lego bricks and 2 yellow Lego bricks 

 It is a one third chance for me to pull out one of the three colours.

First I thought I was going to get green but I got orange.

Next I thought yellow but I got orange. 

Then I thought green and got yellow. 

I then thought green and got green. 

I Thought orange but got green.

Next I thought orange and got orange.

As you can see I pulled out 3 orange 2 green and 1 yellow.

On drawing these out half  come out orange one third come out green and one sixth was yellow.

Here is my graph

Monkey Business

I would be a Monkey because, I could swing around and climb things. To start my day , I would eat berries and two bananas. After breakfast I would find a stream and swim in it.  At 11:00 am I would find lots of sturdy vines, and practice my swings for the next show. Ding! my watch would go off at 12:00 pm for an hour of climbing , four bananas and some nuts.  Two more hours of spy training and meeting the best monkey spy.  She would teach me everything that would make a good spy. I then had to fight off two crocodiles and one gorilla. After a hard day at work, I would go home and do some baking, probably a banana cake. Then I would cook dinner.  After dinner I would climb to the highest branch and go to sleep. That's what I do if I were a Monkey.


What animal would you choose and what would you do?
