Original Promptmath project for math carnival games of probability for grade 7. Students will be in groups of 2-3 students. they will use the engineering design processs, brainstorm, plan, create/build, test improve. They will be expected to calcute the theoretical probabbililty. they will host a carnival and colelct data from the game and cretae a presentation that compares the theoretical and experimental probility. create a project description sheet for students and a rubric and tally sheets for the carniva...
This learning resource outlines a project-based approach for students to design a carnival game focused on calculating and comparing theoretical and experimental probabilities. The project employs the Engineering Design Process (EDP) to guide students through various stages including brainstorming game concepts, creating materials lists, defining sample spaces, calculating theoretical probabilities, and building and testing their games. Students will document their findings, analyze discrepancies between theoretical and experimental results, and present their conclusions. The project promotes collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking while providing practical applications of probability theory.
