Project #14-Project Based Learning Plan #2

The lesson plan for this project is titled What is fair? This project addresses the Common Core State Standards for the field of Mathematics. The projects allows students to "investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate probability models."

The students will be instructed on probability and games of chance as a class. After students are taught the concepts of probability, they will be split into groups of four. Each group will create their own game of chance and present them to the class at the end of the week. For this project students will be forced to think critically, work collaboratively, and utilize technology for their presentation. The only precaution I would take with this project is limiting the types of games of chance the students create. I would make sure to stay away from gambling or casino type games.
