Their understanding of probability and chance can contribute to their development as critical thinkers. As students are running the events, make notes about what they say will happen the most, the least, and how often. Look for fair experimentation. Have groups share their results. Ensure that students have recorded their results correctly in table form.
Question Ask questions about how often certain events occurred.
Have students give experimental probability of the events. Collect Look for accurate theoretical probability in students' work. When reading students' rationales about the probability figures, look to see if their comments have changed to ones that are mathematically based on statistics. All Rights Reserved.
