IsThat Game 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. Have you ever told your parents "That's not fair" when you have to do chores? Can you come up with a FAIR way to distribute chores among siblings? 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 activities. Students will utilize new vocabulary through the involvement in these games and activities. As a final product, students will design a fair and creative 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.

The product and the evaluations will be completed partly on this Wiki Space and partly on a team Blog!
