Is Life Really Fair?
Have you ever heard, “That’s not fair” during a game? Any good game must be fair so that each player has an equal chance at winning. During this unit, students will learn about the mathematical notion of fairness while participating in activities and games of chance. Students will understand the idea of experimental and theoretical probability by taking part in a series of games. Students will utilize new vocabulary through the involvement in these games and activities. As a final product, students will design a fair game to assign chores that must be completed at home. Parents and students will be given a contract that details the use of a payment schedule and the contribution of payments to charity.
