LESSON PLAN DAY 4
Key Content
Anchor Descriptor - A1.2.3.3: Apply probability to practical situations.
Eligible Content A1.2.3.3.1: Find probabilities for compound events (e.g., find probability of red and blue, find probability of red or blue) and represent as a fraction, decimal or percent).
Common Core
Using Probability to Make Decisions
Use probability to evaluate outcomes of decisions.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSS.MD.B.7
(+) Analyze decisions and strategies using probability concepts (e.g., product testing, medical testing, pulling a hockey goalie at the end of a game).
What Will Students Do?
Students will work with teachers to continue learning about probability. Students will learn the difference between experimental and theoretical probability. They will also complete an exit ticket that includes how they feel about how well they are understanding the mathematics as well as the justice focused topics.
The remainder of class will be spent discussing predictions about what our survey results might look like and what they are expecting to happen.
What Will Teachers Do?
Teachers will introduce experimental and theoretical probability through large group instruction using guided notes. They will also facilitate a discussion about what survey results may look like.
Assessments
Resources Needed
Homework
Each student will interview two male students and two female students. Each person will be assigned a different grade level to survey so that our data varies and we have a large representation of the school.
