Karen Casselman Lesson Plan 8 – SMART Slate INTC 5320 March 23, 2010     //Vocabulary: // Theoretical Probability, Experimental Probability, Sample Space, Compound Events, Independent Events, Dependent Events //Materials needed: // SMART Board and SMART Slate    Mathematics: 8.4.4.8 B.1-3, 4a, 5, 6
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">OBJECTIVE: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> 8-5.3 and 8-5.4 Theoretical and Experimental Probability with Relative Frequency for Single Events. Students will be able to calculate the probability of a single or compound event. Students will be able to calculate the relative frequency of an event given experimental data. Students will be able to utilize the SMART Slate as well as the SMART Board to perform experiments and to examine and explore probability.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> Students will understand the difference between probability and relative frequency.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">DO NOW: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> Selected Questions taken from Spiral Review, Open Ended Test Prep and Logical Thinking
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">ACTIVITIES: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> Do Now, Homework Review, Notes and Examples. What is an event, what is a compound event? Discuss how we calculate probability and how it is usually written as a fraction. Discuss how probability is most directly related in the real-world to the casinos. Discuss how casinos win. Compare and contrast relative frequency and probability. When are each used? Which one is a guess and which is based on an experiment? Students will calculate the probability of rolling the numbers 2-12 on a die, and observe that they are not all equally likely to happen. The will use their probabilities to predict what will happen when we roll the dice 100 times. Use the Gallery of Learning Tools in the Notebook software to roll a pair of virtual dice and collect data. Students can pass the SMART Slate around so that they can roll the virtual dice while remaining seated. The rest of the class will be able to view the rolling dice on the SMART Board.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">GUIDED PRACTICE: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> Teacher will demonstrate use of the SMART Slate and the Notebook software and other flash activites to perform experiments with probability. Teacher created notes and examples customized to match student needs and content.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">INDEPENDENT PRACTICE: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> WKST on 8-5.3 and 8-5.4
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">STANDARDS: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> Technology: 8.1 A-F, 8.2 A-G
