MATH By All Means, Probability (Grades 3-4) |
Appropriate for Grades 3-4
Written by Marilyn Burns
Probability, Grades 3-4, presents a six-week unit of instruction that shows teachers how to use games, experiments, and investigations to help students predict outcomes, test predictions, and formulate probability theories. Students learn that some events are more likely than others and some events are equally likely, sample sets of data are useful for making predictions about outcomes, larger samples give more reliable information than do smaller samples, and more.
MATH By All Means helps teachers plan and teach mathematics in ways that engage students, stimulate their thinking, and make math interesting. Designed as an alternative to textbook instruction, it presents a cohesive, classroom-tested plan for six weeks of classroom instruction. Problem-solving activities focus on thinking and reasoning, incorporate the use of concrete materials, and provide opportunities for students to communicate orally and in writing about their mathematics learning.
Soft-cover, 254 pages.
