CHAPTER 10 - THE JAR OF MARBLES (JM)
Probability, Statistics and Interpreting Data
Students will know...
...how to find theoretical and experimental probability which will reinforce fraction skills
...how to recognize question bias, to explore sampling techniques, and to choose a representative sample
...how to find the probability of independent and dependent events
...how to determine whether a correlation exists and if causality is reasonable for a given correlation
Students will...
...be able to use and interpret probability to study real data
...be able to use and interpret statistics to study real data
...be aware of techniques to manipluate data
Activities
Explore probability through experimentation
Learn the difference between theoretical and experimental probability
Classify and calculate independent and dependent probabilities
Represent possible outcomes in tables, grids and tree diagrams
Analyze questions for bias
Learn to select representative samples
Classify questions as open or closed option
Determine whether a correlation exists in a scatter plot
Determine if causality is reasonable for a given correlation
Students will show their understanding by...
...notebook checks
...tests (pair, individual, team)
...classroom written work
...classroom discussions
...written homework
...quizzes (pair, team, and individual)
...participation in games
