Objective:

• Experimental vs. Theoretical Probability

Classwork:

• Students discuss/compare experimental probability and theoretical probability
• Theoretical probability is what we expect to happen, where Experimental Probability is what actually happens when we try it out. The probability is still calculated the same way, using the number of possible ways an outcome can occur divided by the total number of outcomes.
• Students conduct two experiments
• Coin Flip - big ideas workbook
• The Addition Game - Probability Packet pages 23-24

Homework:

• Finish questions following The Addition Game - packet pages 24-25
