* Ex. Weather forecast, medical research, investments, etc...
*Realistic concepts of chance require a heavy amount of development before students are ready to construct formal ideas about the probability of an event (pg.454)
*Exploration rather than rules and definitions when teaching probability
*Chance has no memory!
*In 7th grade probability is a major concept --> Important to begin this concept early on though!
*Ex. Activity from Monday with yellow & red color tiles in bag...

- The key idea to developing chance or probability on a continuum is to help students see that the some of these possible events are more likely or less likely than others. 
-Diagnostic interviews can uncover student misconceptions or preconceptions about the probability of an event. ]]> 2017-07-05 19:26:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_tarvin/afrfvq1r7qho/wish/178132468 dominique_espinosa https://padlet.com/lindsay_tarvin/afrfvq1r7qho/wish/178132498 pg (463-467)
-Sample space for an experiment or chance situation is the set of
all possible outcomes for that experiment. 
-Event is a subset of sample space. 
-Rolling a single die, drawing one colored chip from a
bag, or the occurrence of rain tomorrow are all examples of
one-event experiments. 
-A two-event experiment is an experiment that requires two (or more) activities to determine an outcome.
-Area Models: The area approach is accessible to a range of learners, as it is less abstract than equations or tree diagrams. 
-Dependent events occur when the second event depends on the result of the first.]]> 2017-07-05 19:27:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_tarvin/afrfvq1r7qho/wish/178132498 isabel_soto https://padlet.com/lindsay_tarvin/afrfvq1r7qho/wish/178132530 Known probability 
-like Rollins dice you know you have a 1 in 6 chance to roll a 5
Theoretical probability 
-established through data and evidence 
Quantity and Quality 
The Law of Large Numbers 
Experiments

 * Refining the concept  that some events are more or less likely to occur than other, introduce the idea of a continuum of probability between impossible and certain. 
*Post the probability continuum in the classroom where it can be used as a reference for other opportunities to talk about how likely something is.]]> 2017-07-05 19:27:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_tarvin/afrfvq1r7qho/wish/178132532 https://padlet.com/lindsay_tarvin/afrfvq1r7qho/wish/178132732 Page 467-469


Simulation is a technique used for answering real-world questions or making decisions in complex situations where an element of chance is involved.

Ex: flight simulator]]> 2017-07-05 19:31:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_tarvin/afrfvq1r7qho/wish/178132732
