|
2. Content-
|
Mode; Likely, Unlikely, Certain, Possible |
|
|
3. Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
|
1. Understanding Mode
2. Predicting Frequency of an Outcome
|
|
|
4. Objectives-
|
Students are expected to use a probability model to solve an everyday
problem. Students will make predictions before solving their problem.
Students will conduct the experiment and record their findings. Afterwards,
students are expected to analyze their findings and answer questions. |
|
|
5. Materials and Aids-
|
Colored blocks or tiles
Paper/Plastic bag
Worksheet
Pencil |
|
|
6. Procedures/Methods-
|
A. Introduction-
1. As a class, we will review the idea of probability
2. Students will be encouraged to express what they already know about
probability
|
|
|
B. Development-
1. We will go over the ideas of likely, unlikely, certain, impossible
and mode
2. As a class we will chart our ideas and definitions
|
|
|
C. Practice-
1. As a class we will go talk about the problem-based activity,
and go over the instructions.
2. The teacher will model the activity before students are asked to
go back to their table groups to conduct their own experiment.
(Nisha wants to know how many boxes she will have to open to get all
four (4) action figures - one red, one green, one blue, and one yellow).
|
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
1. Students will go back to their table groups and conduct the experiment
2. They will record and analyze their findings and answer questions
3. If students have enough time, they will be encouraged to try the
experiment more than once |
|
|
E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
1. We will go over the ideas orally as well as completing an anchor
chart for visual learners
2. Students can choose to color their charts for a better visual when
recording their results
|
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
1. Students will hand in their worksheets after the experiment is
completed. Their work will be assessed.
2. The teacher will also make observations while students are conducting
experiments. |
|
|
G. Closure-
1. Students are encouraged to share their findings with each other,
and compare their results.
2. If there is enough time, students can gather on the carpet and
share their results with the teacher and the rest of the class. |
