Using Probability to Teach Social Justice

Created by

This is an exploratory experiment/activity about basic probability. Students discover the differences between theoretical probability, experimental probability, and reality by taking a hard look at Stop and Frisk in urban areas. Students also deal with independent and dependent events. By the end of the project, students will be able to: Articulate the differences between theoretical and experimental probability through prediction and experimentation. Articulate the differences between indep

Marble Activity

Created by

Amber Carter

Fun activity to have students investigate and calculate probability.Using a Plinko-style board, students predict where the marble will drop. Probabilities are then found by breaking the board down into smaller versions and seeing how it relates to Pascal's Triangle to be able to determine the probabilities.There are questions related to the marble drop and probability, some questions about Plinko and an extension using The Wall game show.SMART Notebook presentation, word document and pdf version
