Classroom use in Courses and Topics: Math 7: Probability |
Duration of classroom use: One Week |
What did students learn? The difference between experimental probability and mathematical probability. |
What did students do with the resource? Students made predictions about what the actual probability of an event. |
How hard was it for students to use? Easy |
Other classroom comments: An easy way to visualize experimental and mathematical probability. It was very clear that the more events, the closer the probabilities. |
Appropriate for: introduction to a concept, practice of skills and understandings |
Other Comments: Great way to reinforce probability and percents. |
