Review based on: personal experience |
Appropriate for: introduction to a concept, practice of skills and understandings |
Other Comments: This would be a terrific activity to use for practice. The neat part would be for students to figure out the relationship of the probability to how much actually burns. I would not want students to continue guessing. Estimating needs to be practiced and students should learn how to get close. |
What math does one need to know to use the resource? Students need to understand probability as well as estimation. There is a great connection to multiplication. |
