Discussion and Supporting Materials

Thought starters

  1. See how the coin toss activity leads to an understanding of 1/2 to the "nth" Why should students work with various materials such as coins, dice, and soccer balls to understand probability?
  2. How does Mr. Heeley make the activities both hands-on and minds-on?

Hello everyone I was trying to open up the 'probability' in supporting materials on the right side, but it is redirecting to different side. Any idea why this happening?

This was so exciting to watch. I can only imagine that the students can remember the concepts as well as discover how to use them in different situations.
