Over the past two weeks we have created carnival games that are based on probability. My group created a cup game called Ping Pong Peek-a-boo. You have 1/3 chance of probability to win a prize. In our game we have six cups (six chances) and only two balls put into two of the cups (1/3 chance of winning). We also played Yahtzee which was probably the hardest part to understand, but there were also so many probabilities within the game that made it confusing.

I have learned that probabilities are put into fractions that we later have to multiply. I also learned that we need to consider all the possibilities there are in the game. We need to figure out all the probabilities in one problem otherwise your results will probably be inaccurate.

I personally think this is a better way of doing math because we could go at our own pace, but yet we are able to relate it to real life situations. In iMath, we just do problems, but we don’t connect it to the real world which makes it harder to understand.
