Anticipatory Set
Give one die to each student. Have students stand in a line in the back,
front, or open area in the room. Each student will roll the die once, and
depending on the number the rolled they will take a seat at a
predetermined area of the room. (EX: if you roll a 1, go to the blue table
in the back, etc) Once students are divided, teacher will ask the students
a variety of questions, such as, Why did some of you roll twos, and
others roll fives? Any questions similar to this will create a discussion
amongst the students. Students will then return to their seats.
Input
Teacher will ask students to play rock, paper, scissors with a partner,
but must predict who will win 3 out of the 5 possible games. Students
will then be shown the materials so they understand what the lesson will
entail.
Model
Model for students by tossing the coin and explaining the chances of
getting heads or tails. The teacher will display a large copy displaying
the results and will demonstrate how to record die information and coin
tossing results.
Check for
Understanding
Teacher will walk around and redirect students who need to continue
the game. Check progress and ensure students are collecting the data
correctly.
Guided Practice
Each student will use their materials and flip the coin 100 times
recording the results. Students will then analyze the results and make
a prediction for the next 100 flips. Student will again record the results
of the 100 flips. Each student will use their materials and conduct the
same experiment with the die. The teacher will demonstrate how to
show probability in fraction form
Stop the class and ask students if they are surprised by their results.
Have students compare their results so far with the rest of the class.
Closure
Stop the class and ask students if they are surprised by their results.
Have students compare their results so far with the rest of the class. If
time permits, ask students to give real world applications and situations
of probability. Prompt students for answers such as weather predictions,
or sports.
