What educators are saying
My kids had a lot of fun with this one. We printed a huge bracket and tracked it each day to see how close each person got.
Description
In this project, students will fill in NCAA March Madness brackets and then analyze them using historical data to find the probability of different outcomes. They will also use a random number table and the historical results of the tournament to fill out a mathematical bracket. This project is perfect if you can time your lessons on probability with the March Madness tournament.
