Carnival math games

The last two weeks we have been in groups working on carnival games that have to do with probability. I had fun coming up with the game and building it with my group members. I honestly still don’t quite understand how to do probability very well, but I am going to be working on it at home to make sure that I understand it.

I learned that in our carnival game we had to take all the possibilities and multiply them by the chances of winning. We had to find the probability of winning in our game and find how much profit we would make.

I don’t really like this type of leaning. I feel that I would have a better chance of understanding the concept if we just did the lesson online. I liked the fun part of making the carnival game with my friends, but I just don’t quite understand probability because of the way that we were learning.
