I LOVE it when people comment!<br /><br />You are right, that parts of this activity could be used in Grade Four, however, adding in the component of having to compare the Theoretical Probability to the Experimental Probability along with having to answer the question: "How many times would you expect to get an even number if you rolled 500 times?" increases the level of difficulty for this activity. <br /><br />Perhaps our Curriculum Expectations are slightly different than your Common Core Standards. Here is the Grade Six expectation I was addressing with this lesson:<br /><br />– predict the frequency of an outcome of a simple probability experiment or game, by calculating and using the theoretical probability of that outcome. (e.g.,“The theoretical probability of spinning red is 1/4 since there are four different-coloured<br />areas that are equal. If I spin my spinner 100 times, I predict that red should come up about 25 times.”). (Sample problem:<br />Create a spinner that has rotational symmetry. Predict how often the spinner will land on the same sector after 25 spins.<br />Perform the experiment and compare the prediction to the results.).<br /><br /><br /> <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030713811700962791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284198838335292771.post-72807253325482882013-05-22T18:20:31.461-07:002013-05-22T18:20:31.461-07:00Nice experiment, but seems about Grade 4 difficult...Nice experiment, but seems about Grade 4 difficulty: only odd x odd = odd, other 3 combos are even, for a probability of odd = 1/4. Finding the solution by counting (9/36) is an even less sophisticated solution, maybe Grade 3.CCSSI Mathematicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12318317536740240935noreply@blogger.com
