PROBABILITY
This week we discussed probability as a measurement of likelihood. This measurement can be expressed as qualitative, or quantitative data! The idea is to learn to determine a theoretical probability, and possible likely outcomes. In class we had a gallery of activities presented to us one was using the clues to find the missing variables, or make connections accordingly. I really enjoyed this lesson as there were several different options to choose form and each person in the group had a chance to provide their input. It was very engaging and, hands on! When students engage in practising prediction, and determining outcomes they begin with concrete activities such as the ones above. Keeping this in mind they will be able to better deal with more abstract concepts and theoretical situations later on. Student could take interest in topics such as probability in math that leads them to take interest in jobs like forecasting, weather, sports anchor etc.
In our daily life I use probability to make better decisions, choices, and my intuition plays a huge role in my metacognition about topics. I think that learning this at an early age and really getting the concept of mathematically probability can really effect students precise uses of it and, they can being to make connections in their everyday lives.
