Silver Team Update
January 13-17
Blue and Silver Team students have been diligently working during this school year to track the statistics of an NFL football team. Students have kept track of wins and losses, created double lines, and written game summaries. This week, students worked to determine all team’s winning percentages along with finding the mean, median, mode and range of each division. This information was then used to make play-off predictions! As a reward for all this hard work, both teams will be having a SUPERBOWL CELEBRATION in class!!! The party will be on Friday, February 7th. Students MUST have their football math book and statistics page completed to 6th grade quality work expectations and turned in to be eligible to participate.
During our celebration we will be making a sweet and salty Superbowl Super Snack Mix to share. If you are able, please consider sending something off the following list to contribute to our mix:
Cheez Its
Sturdy chips of any kind (ex. Doritos, Cheetos, etc…)
Chex Mix
