| WASL Practice Problem - Due Friday 11-21
What are the odds that flipping a coin will result in heads? What are the odds that two students, each flipping a coin, will both get heads? What are the odds that three students, each flipping a coin, will all get heads? What are the odds that four students, each flipping a coin, will get heads? Will you ever reach the point where it is impossible for a group of students, each flipping a coin, to get head? Explain in detail how you found your answer using words, numbers, and/or pictures. |

1. -HW P10 #6........
2. =Page 15 Problem 2.1+Follow_up.....
OBJECTIVE: •To gain experience finding experimental
probabilities of unequally likely events[1.4.8][1.4.9] •To
understand that chance (probability) is an estimate of behavior
over the long run •To understand that to make good decisions
based on experimental probabilities, the probabilities must be
based on a large number of trials •To understand that a game of
chance is fair only if each player has the same chance of
winning, not just a possible chance of winning
ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT:Page 14+, Problem 2.1, 'Tossing
Marshmallows' (Actually, we will be using a substitute) Working
in pairs, have students perform the experiment using pices of
pvc pipe (2 sizes). Do problem and follow-Up on Page 15.
NOTES: HOMEWORK: P17 #3

1. -HW Page 17 #3........
2. =Page 16 Problem 2.2+Follow-Up.....
OBJECTIVE: See 11-18 above. ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Students
will work in pairs to complete problem 2.2. They may use coins
or the computer simulation for this data NOTES: Give some
information on rating scales between 0 and 1 (relate to %)
HOMEWORK: P18 5-13

1. -HW Page 8 5-13......
2. -Page 21 3 and 4.....
OBJECTIVE: Measure angles and central angles.
ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Students will practice measuring angles
and central angles using a protractor. The end goal is to be
able to divide circles into appropriate parts for spinners or
to measure spinners to determine appropriate probabilities.
First worksheet will deal with the process of measureing
angles; second worksheet on meauring central angles. NOTES:
Distribute Progress Report #5. Glencoe - Measuring angles - page 296 HOMEWORK: Worksheet dependent.

2. -HW Angle Measure Exercise..
OBJECTIVE: see 11-19 above ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Continue
measure exercise on angle measures. Have students construct
spinners of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 12 equal segments.
NOTES: 5 and 4 circle papers - demo spinner with bobby pin or
paper clip. Rememeber the flat surfaces. Can Start intro to

1. -WASL Pract7p5 (Practice Problem)...
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: Page 22,
Investigation 3, lesson 3.1 'Bargaining for a better bedtime'
Working with partners do the problem and the follow up on page
