How I use Undersea Treasures - Video from the Futures Channel This video comes with two lesson plans for grades 4-8 with details: Heads or Tails A probability experiment that demonstrates what it really means to say that a tossed coin will come up heads one-half of the time. Subject: Mathematics Topics: Statistics and Probability Grades: 4 - 8 Concepts: - Probability - Sample Knowledge and Skills: - Can apply the strategy "look for a pattern" - Understands the effect of sample size on the accuracy of measured probabilities - Can represent numerical data in chart and graph form - Understands the purpose and value of organizing information in charts Tetradice An unusual kind of dice will help students learn more about statistics and probability. Subject: Mathematics Topics: Probability and Statistics Grades: 4 - 8 Concepts: - Equilateral - Isosceles - Vertex - Probability - Sample size - Frequency distribution graph Knowledge and Skills: - Can describe a polyhedron in terms of ?faces?, ?edges? and ?vertices?. - Can represent and interpret numerical data in chart and graph form. - Can create a frequency distribution graph - Understands the importance of "sample size" as it relates to experimental accuracy. |
