Geometric Probability Worksheet Spring 2013 with Answer Key (Editable)

I wrote this worksheet to replace a lecture on geometric probability. Instead of giving my students a lot of examples, I give them the basic formula for geometric probability, (included at the start of this worksheet) and the "helper formula," which often comes in handy:

shaded area + unshaded area = total area

With that information, I set them to work on this activity within cooperative groups, and I circulate to make sure they are getting the purpose of the questions. This generally gives them 45 minutes to an hour to engage in the problems, and I find they get more out of it than simply assigning homework from the text.

The file includes spiral review problems.

This worksheet is intended to be written on directly.

Please download the pdf preview file first, so you can see exactly what's included; the product file is a word document, which you may personalize for your students.
