- Benchmark 6.4.1.1: Determine the sample space (set of possible outcomes) for a
given experiment and determine which members of the sample space are related
to certain events. Sample space may be determined by use of tree diagrams,
tables, or pictorial representations. (Anderson, 2011)
Pre-Assessment:
- Have the lesson about probability and statistics before the activity, this activity is
just to practice, assess and get better understanding. You can have the kids give
you a thumbs up, to the side, or thumbs down after the lesson (before the
activity) to get an idea on the classes understanding. You can also do this after
the activity and gage improvement.
Procedure:
1. The students will create a chart in their notebook prior to this activity
2. The instructor will have pre-chosen the stations each kid will go to (what small
group they're in)
3. The children will go around the stations filling out the chart on the statistics on
the probability problem at the station (Ex: what is the probability of picking a red
skittle? Record the probability and outcome in your chart)
4. The students will go back to their desks after this activity and convert the
fractions to decimals
5. The students will discuss and compare outcomes as a class
