Find It Fund It Florida - Hillsborough Education Foundation

By providing money to buy supplies for many students who are economically disadvantaged to create probability games, students will learn probability in a real-life application. In doing so, will be highly motivated to create project that meets the high expectations of state benchmarks on probability. This will also be open to the community to enjoy and support student learning in a positive environment.

By providing money to buy supplies for many students who are economically disadvantaged to create probability games, students will learn probability in a real-life application. In doing so, will be highly motivated to create project that meets the high expectations of state benchmarks on probability. This will also be open to the community to enjoy and support student learning in a positive environment.

How Project Benefits Students

By creating real life probability games and by playing other student games, students will learn how to solve probability problems involving experimental probability, theoretical probability, and compound probability (8th grade benchmark) Students will be able to answer questions about their games and will write a summary of the expected game outcomes. 

 

Expected Outcome(s)

The expected outcome is that students will perform proficient on problems involving probability. Based on PM1 math data, 7th grade students are below grade level on all benchmarks involving probability. MA.7.DP.2.1 determining sample space for a simple experiment, MA.7.DP.2.2 determining the likelihood that event would occur, MA7.DP.2.3 theoretical probability, MA.7.DP.2.4 experimental probability and how it compares to theoretical probability.
