Mi Viaje a Europa
Bon dia!
Me llamo Adele Ferrari. Recién regresé de mi viaje a la Unión Europea. ¡Era muy divertido! Desde Chicago, viajé por avión a Francia. Cuando llegué a Francia, enseñe mi pasaporte (solamente una vez) y luego me fui al banco. Era muy fácil para cambiar mis dólares americanos para Euros. Después que llegué a mi hotel, pase una semana en Francia. Vi al ‘Eiffel Tower’ y también fui a un museo dónde vi la ‘Monalisa.’ Era muy interesante. Las personas allí hablaban muchas diferentes lenguas. Casi todos hablaron Francés o Inglés.
Después de mi visita a Europa, me encontre en Suiza. Como Suiza no era parte de la Unión Europea, tuve que cambiar mi dinero otra vez y tuve que enseñar mi pasaporte. Decidí no quedarme allí por más que 4 días, quise ver el resto de Europa.
Pase el resto de mi visita tureando el resto de Europa. Me fui a España, Portugal, Italia, y Bélgica.
The Price Is Right
The past two weeks we have been learning about probability with Mrs. Zastrow. We spent several class periods watching the TV game show, “The Price Is Right.” After watching “The Price Is Right” games, we were given the task of creating our own game based on probability. After we completed our game, we had to present our game to our other classmates.
The past 2 weeks, I learned about probability. I learned that in the TV show game, PLINKO, there is no probability, but it’s all luck. I also learned that several of the games in “The Price Is Right” have a very low probability of being won by the contestant. The key to making these games is for there to be less than a 50% chance of being won by the contestant. Most of the games in “The Price Is Right” have a very low chance of being won.
Between group math and individual math through IMath, I got to see many similarities and differences between the two. In IMath we go at our own pace, where as with a group we all work together and say at the same pace. For example, if I had done this individually, there is a good chance it would’ve been done in less or more time. Since we did it as a group, we all got done at the same time. As far as learning more or learning less, I think I learned about the same as I would’ve in IMath, if anything I learned a little less. I definitely enjoyed this.
