We reviewed probability in class today.
Probability is the likelihood that an event will occur.
We did a class activity where the students had to predict the probability of different events happening.
Ie ....
- Ms Alison rolling a 6 on a six sided die.
- Mr Puy selecting a red block from a bag of mixed colored blocks.
- The probability of guessing Ms Alison's favorite ice cream flavor.
The students made very accurate predictions of Certain, Likely, Unlikely and Impossible.
I knew all students understood the concept when I asked the question "What is the probability of Teppi catching a bug during lunch break?" and the whole class moved to 'Certain' and 'Highly likely' sections of the room.
