Oh the Probabilities... Well I am going to be honest, probabilities are not my strong area. I had a little bit of difficulties with this weeks lessons on probabilities. I feel that probability is a difficult topic to really gasp. I found the video that we watched this week about probability in Tim Bedley's classroom to be very helpful and a great way to address probability in class. It created a very memorable learning experience. With difficult topics such as probability, making the lesson memorable is very important.
There are a number of different probability activities that you can do to teach probability that will help students to understand the materials while creating a memorable lesson. Also by allowing the students to work "hands on" with probability activities where they are able to record the results and see the outcomes helps engage the learning of the students. Some activities can be done individually or in cooperative learning groups.
Another way to teach probability is in games. What child doesn't like to play games? I can't think of a more exciting way to learn. There are a number of different probability games that students can do. You can either make them really simple or go all out, either way students will be able to have fun and learn at the same time.
