**June 1, 2007** In teacher's absence, students will complete two rather large packets taken from //Glencoe's Core-Plus Mathematics// as well as their //Contemporary Mathematics in Context.// Students will explore data using the tools of statistics and probability and will do so collaboratively in groups of four.
