OBJECTIVE: •To develop strategies for finding experimental probabilities with a new simulation tool: spinners •To understand that to make good decisions based on experimental probabilities, the probabilities must be based on a large number of trials [1.4.8][1.4.9] ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Warm-Ups -Interpret Graphs /tables: Investigation Three: Using Spinners to Predict Chance; Spinners, Angles, Using Statistics NOTES: Review/overview of 'How Likely Is It' HOMEWORK: p27 10&11 [ Changeable spinner with results.]

OBJECTIVE: •To understand the two ways to obtain probabilities: by gathering data from experiments (experimental probability) and by analyzing possible and favorable outcomes (theoretical probability)[1.4.2] •To understand the relationship between experimental and theoretical probabilities: when an experimental probability is based on a large number of trials, it is a good estimate of the theoretical probability •To develop strategies for finding theoretical probabilities, such as making an organized list of all possible outcomes [1.4.2] •To develop an understanding of the word random ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Warm-Ups -Interpret Graphs /tables: Investigation Four: Theoretical Probabilities; Theoretical Probabilities, Experimental Probabilities, Randomness NOTES: Review/overview of 'How Likely Is It' HOMEWORK: P39 #9 [PDF Chapter on counting outcomes and more.]

OBJECTIVE: •To understand the two ways to obtain probabilities: by gathering data from experiments (experimental probability) and by analyzing possible and favorable outcomes (theoretical probability)[1.4.3] •To develop strategies for finding theoretical probabilities, such as making an organized list of all possible outcomes [1.4.2][4.1.1][4.1.2] •To gain a better understanding of what it means for events to be equally likely in situations in which individual outcomes are combined to obtain the events of interest ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Warm-Ups -Interpret Graphs /tables: NOTES: HOMEWORK: P47 15-18 [Probability]
