[Measure Units Ladder]

11-14-2005 Math 2   
1. Pages 22-23 Problem 3.1 + Follow-Up
2. Measure Drill w/o sheet [1.2.2; 1.2.3]
3. Review Measure Circles

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 [1.4.2][1.4.1][3.2.1] ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: [Collect the measure drill scores only of passing scores. Others will keep until end of week collection.] Divide circles on sheet in to 6, 4,8 and 10 equal segments. Label ALL interior angles. NOTES: HOMEWORK: Draw a circle and divide into 12 equal parts

[ Practice reading a protractor  ]  [Need a protractor?]

Simulated Spinner Data

How many segments on the spinner? (12 max)   How many spins of the spinner?

The results of the spins will appear in a pop-up window. If you have pop-ups disabled, you might have to check to see if another window opened in the background.

4. Fair-Game Project Team proposal

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-Up Fraction to decimal practice.

Introduce a line plot - have students generate a line plot during experiment. Work through the follow-Up as class activity. Students will submit their proposals for their fair-game projects. NOTES: [Fair Game Project Sheet]  HOMEWORK: Page 35 #1
