Unit 1: Data, Graphs, and Numbers

Activity 13: Probability and Graphing (GLEs:  34, 36, 37, 39, 40, 41)

CC:  Have students use activities involving probability to create graphs, such as flipping two coins, finding sums or products of two random number generators (e.g., dice, number cubes, spinners).

Have students predict the how many times a coin will land on heads and tails if you flip the coin ten times.  Graph the results and check the prediction.

Have students make a chart to show all possible sums on two dice.  Students will predict the sum that will occur the most often.  Have them roll the two dice ten times and find the sum of the numbers rolled.  Graph the data and check predictions.
