Normal Distribution in a real life context: Lake Tekapo Fish Mongers
Are you having trouble explaining what Normal distribution is and how it can be used in real life? Are your students craving a hands on activity that would make sense of this concept? Do you need an engaging project on statistics? Would you like an activity that already has enrichment, scaffolding and all of the material ready to go? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, this project is tailor made for you!Your students will assume a role of a research team for a fishing company.

Marble Activity
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

Health Insurance in America Part 4 (Activity and Teacher Guide)
Health Insurance in America Part 4: Rolling Dice, Expected Value, and RiskThis five part (mix-and-matchable) simulation activity illustrates the fundamental probability dynamics involved in the area of health insurance. In every part, students start with some money and a die (these can be physical or virtual, though virtual is easier) and roll to simulate whether they get sick. As the activity progresses through different rounds, students explore the following concepts and skills around statisti

Binomial Distribution
• use formulae for probabilities for the binomial distribution, and
recognise practical situations where the binomial distribution is a
suitable model (the notation B(n, p) is included);
• use formulae for the expectation and variance of the binomial
distribution.

Normal Distribution
1)understand the use of a normal distribution to model a continuous
random variable, and use normal distribution tables;
solve problems concerning a variable X, where X ~ N, including:
finding the value of P(X > x1), or a related probability, given the
values of x1,
2)finding a relationship between x1, and given the value of
P(X > x1) or a related probability;
3)recall conditions under which the normal distribution can be used
as an approximation to the binomial distribution (n large enou
