This week’s parent homework comes from the Everyday Math Family Letter for our current unit. These letters include information on what is being studied during the unit, activities and games to play, and even solutions for the StudyLink math homework pages. Family Letters are sent home at the start of each unit of study. Also, they are available online at www.everydaymathonline.com.

Have your child look for everyday uses of probabilities in games, sports, and weather reports. Ask your child to make a list of events that could never happen, might happen, and are sure to happen.
