Fun with Probability Plinko - The Probability is Right!

The end of the year can be tricky when trying to maintain attention and excitement for everyday school activities.  Today, in math we tackled probability.  We were able to use the SMARTboard to display a six-sided dice and talk about the odds of landing on a particular number.  We also played with a 10-quadrant spinner and, again, chatted about the odds of landing on a particular space.  We should have captured that on video, because there was some genuine excitement for determining the odds of choosing the right number or space.  We ended today with a game that we came upon today: Probability Plinko - The Price is Right!  As you can see in our video...WE HAD FUN practicing probability.  Hoping for 9 more fun filled days of school...single digits...can you believe it!?
