At Miami Arts Charter School, we want to:
1) make classes interesting
2) create classes where "time is a variable"
3) focus on math that relates to our lives
4) start with personal learning plans, not the textbook
For this exercise, called "compare the odds," please estimate the odds of some of the following (you can add your own event):
the odds of winning the powerball,
the odds of getting hit by lightning,
the chance of getting in a car accident
Describe where you got the information and (if you made a calculation) how you arrived at the number.
Put the calculation in your Math Journal (or whatever you call your notebook, design trap, the "I want to remember this" book...). This exercise is interdisciplinary: This exercise uses skills from many subjects. Please write it carefully, check with a friend who likes to proofread and think about how you can apply this information to your life. What information do you need for calculating risk?
