Mathscape/Seeing and Thinking Mathematically: Chance Encounters

By EDC Project Staff

Mathscape/Seeing and Thinking Mathematically is a complete middle-school mathematics curriculum. In this series of 21 units, students explore big ideas, essential processes, and basic skills. The series fully addresses National Council of Teachers of Mathematics standards and recommendations for teaching middle-school mathematics. In this unit, students investigate probability through games involving coins, number cubes, and spinners. They represent probabilities using fractions, decimals, and percentages. They also use grids to compare theoretical and experimental probability. Macintosh software is available for this unit.
