Students examine the history of the game theory. They practice using new vocabulary. They write about the debate on exchange using different viewpoints.
Students explore the iterative reasoning process. In this game theory lesson students explore the problem of the "Prisoner's Dilemma" which provides the opportunity for experimentation with various strategies for playing the game.
Students explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson, students perform various probability experiments including flipping a coin, picking m&m's out of a bag, and the birthday problem.
Students explore game theory. In this secondary mathematics lesson, students plat the game of HOG using dice and explore the optimal strategies. Students play the game three ways: any number of dice, a fixed number of dice and using the calculator function dice and compare the average number of points per turn and consider the question of optimal strategy.
Students explore game theory. In this secondary mathematics lesson, students investigate the playing of a game called Hog which involves rolling dice. Students explore many different scenarios as they consider the best strategy and the optimum number of dice to be used to play the game.
Students investigate various games employing graphs as game boards. In this game theory lesson, students problem solve through the use of graphs. The lesson is a list of both indoor and outdoor games to encourage students to think mathematically by questioning.
Young scholars explore the concept of peace. In this International Peace Day lesson, students determine their reaction to a scenario that requires them to benefit themselves or benefit everyone. Young scholars discuss the scenario and discuss methods to address international conflict.
In this theoretical probability learning exercise, 7th graders use the game board to help them find the theoretical probability for the three problems.
Learn how to use a matrix to organize data to solve a problem. This activity uses wins and losses to rank players for an air hockey tournament they wish to have. After practicing some basic matrix operations the class could do the recommended extension activity based on the current Big Ten results. Of course, you could adapt it to whatever teams and sports are currently happening where you are.
In this statistics and probability worksheet, students analyze the rules of a game to determine if the game appears to be fair. The three page worksheet contains nine questions. Answers are not provided.
