Instructional Ideas
- Before calculating the actual probability, have individuals determine the likelihood of the event occurring
Classroom Considerations
- Make copies of four-segmented spinners for the class
- Learners need to know how to convert fractions to percents
Pros
- Includes sample data to demonstrate how to determine the solutions
- Highlights the section of the lesson where the mathematical practice is used
Cons
- None
