ENGAGE

Let’s Try an Experiment Group one: Flip a coin 100 times. Record your results. Group Two: Simulate flipping a coin 100 times. Record your results. How can we determine the real flippers? EXPLORE
5
Chances Are… Radiolab But don’t believe everything you see on TV or hear on the radio… Even the experts make mistakes… EXPLORE
6
Problem What is the probability of getting a string of 7 heads OR 7 tails in 100 coin flips? Two Problem Solving Strategies Start with a baby (simpler) problem Find the answer to the inverse problem EXPLORE
7
Looking for Patterns What is the probability of getting 2 heads in a row? What is the probability of getting 3 heads in a row? What is the probability of getting 4 heads in a row? EXPLORE
8
Solution Time If the probability of getting 7 heads in a row when you toss a coin 100 times is.32, what is the probability of getting 7 heads OR 7 tails? EXPLAIN
9
Pascal’s Triangle How does it relate to coin flipping? What other patterns do you see? ELABORATE
10
What did you learn today about problem solving? What did you learn today about teaching problem solving? How could you use this in your classroom? EVALUATE

Here is the Rest of the Story Evelyn Adams thought it'd be a great idea to spend her $5.4 million gambling in nearby Atlantic City. A little over 20 years later, she found herself broke and living in a less-than-lavish trailer park. The moral of this story, guys? If you're insanely lucky to win the lottery twice, stop playing the lottery.
