Learning About Compound Probability
Students in Mrs. O’Brien’s seventh-grade math class are learning about compound probability. Students played a game by spinning two mystery spinners. They collected data and then calculated the probability of the outcomes with theoretical probability before playing the game and experimental probability after playing the game.
Students were then shown the real spinners and had to adjust their theoretical probability based off what the spinners really looked like. Students then had to conclude about the fairness of the game based on the outcomes of each probability. Students worked in their groups to organize and display their results on posters to share with other groups.
