Understand and evaluate random processes underlying
statistical experiments
SP.IC.912.1a Determine whether the data
could come from a data-generating device
(spinner, coin, number cube).
SP.IC.912.1b Determine the likelihood
(likely, impossible, unlikely, certain) of
outcomes from a data-generating
device.
SP.IC.912.1c Determine the likelihood (likely or unlikely) of
an outcome from a data-generating device.
To introduce students to age appropriate Probability/Statistics
concepts by using real –world objects they see during daily life
experiences.
Students will participate by counting objects and picking a number
to complete a math sentence
Students will use manipulatives or objects to represent and solve a
math problem
Students will write, read and solve a math problem (using
modifications for individual students)
Can students solve the math problem verbally or with with visuals?
Can students represent the math problem and complete the
sentence using statistics?
Can students illustrate the math problem with manipulatives and
solve?
Can students act out a math problem with cards/visuals?
Explain that statistics and probability by using a coin and
talk about the probability or likelihood that it will be heads.
Use the coin to show them this
Get out the cards and ask them what the probability is that
they will pick a specific card out of the deck.
After they calculate, model this
Tell them that they are going to play spoons but while
playing we are going to use statistics.
Ask them what the probability will for people getting a
spoon
Before cards are thrown in, have everyone show their cards
and discuss the probabilities again.
Statistics/Probability
Post it notes with numbers wrote on them to give Connor 2 choices
to answer questions or an extra set of cards
Spoons and cards
Reflection of my Lesson:
What worked and why?
I feel the lesson went well and due to the fact that the students were familiar with this game and have played
a few times prior to the lesson.
What did you learn from this lesson?
I learned that my students are able to understand statistics/probability due to explaining and exposing them
to this concept in such a simplistic way.
If you were to teach this lesson again, what would you change and why?
How can you further apply what you have learned to future lessons?
Take more risks and incorporate more statistics and probability if I have to teach a core math class in the
future. We have already started working on rolling for doubles with large dice daily and talking about the
probability of this while working on simple addition.
