Tetrahedral Dice from Illustrative Mathematics - 0 views

  •  
    Many games use dice which are six-sided and fair (meaning each face on the die is equally likely to land face up). Many games also use the sum of two dice rolled at the same time to determine movement of game pieces. However, not all dice are six-sided.

Sitting across from Each Other from Illustrative Mathematics - 0 views

  •  
    There is a nice geometric way to see that it is equally likely that Carlos is sitting to Angie's left or to her right: if the table is reflected about the line through Angie's seat and the seat opposite her, this exchanges the seats to her left and right.

Probability Games from Mathematics Assessment Project - 0 views

  •  
    This unit is designed to help students to: Confront and overcome common probability misconceptions. Count equally likely outcomes using diagrams. Discuss relationships between theoretical probabilities, observed outcomes and sample sizes. Calculate probabilities of independent events. This lesson unit is structured in the following way: Before the lesson, students work individually on a task designed to reveal their current level of understanding.

How Many Buttons? from Illustrative Mathematics - 0 views

  •  
    In implementing this task, you might also ask students to come up with other probabilities that could be calculated using this table (for example, the probability that the selected student is male or the probability that the selected student is male and wearing a shirt that has no buttons).

    7 Grade 7 Domain SP: Statistics and Probability Cluster Investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate probability models. Standard Approximate the probability of a chance event by collecting data on the chance process that produces it and observing its long-run relative frequency, and predict the approximate relative frequency given the probability.

Rolling Dice from Illustrative Mathematics - 0 views

  •  
    This task is intended as a classroom activity. Students pool the results of many repetitions of the random phenomenon (rolling dice) and compare their results to the theoretical expectation they develop by considering all possible outcomes of rolling two dice. This gives them a concrete example of what we mean by long term relative frequency.

Evaluation Statements About Probability from Mathematics Assessment Project - 0 views

  •  
    This lesson unit addresses common misconceptions relating to probability of simple and compound events. The lesson will help you assess how well students understand concepts of: Equally likely events. Randomness. Sample sizes. This lesson unit is structured in the following way: Before the lesson, students work individually on an assessment task that is designed to reveal their current understandings and difficulties.

    7 Grade 7 Domain G: Geometry Cluster Solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume. Standard Know the formulas for the area and circumference of a circle and use them to solve problems; give an informal derivation of the relationship between the circumference and area of a circle.
