Description

You're stuck in a strange maze! You'll need to use predictions and comparisons from simple experiments to find your way out!

Vocabulary Words

probability
prediction
probable outcomes
possible outcomes
proportion

Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Experiment to Collect Data and Interpret it. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

Find probability using data displayed from probability events and simple experiments.
Use qualitative reasoning from number of outcomes to predict the likelihood of an event happening.
When predicting the probability of an event qualitatively the exact value does not need to be determined, rather a judgement based on the number of favorable outcomes over total outcomes.
Solve problems asking for predictions of future events using data gathered for an experiment by comparing probability of events happening

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What is probability? What is the mathematical reasoning for getting heads 50% of the time when we flip a coin? Does the probability of getting heads being 50% mean that if we flip a coin 90 times, 45 times it will be heads? Can predictions based on probability be incorrect?

After the Game

How did you use proportions to help you solve the word problems in the game? How did the game demonstrate the ability of math to help us "predict the future"? What is another real life example of how probable outcomes differ from possible outcomes? Explain which event you are more able to predict accurately: getting the result of heads when you flip a coin or getting the number five when you roll a die?
