Geometric+Probability

=Geometric Probability=

- Fun problem about a real county fair "game"

-Sample dartboards for students to measure and calculate the probability of darts landing in the shaded area.
 * [[file:geometric probability dartboard answers.doc]]- answers for dartboards 2 and 3...we usually do the first together so I can model how to show and label work.

- After calculating the dartboard probabilities, I extend by having students create their own dartboards within a given set of restrictions.
 * [[file:Dartboard Project Checking Workbook.xls]]-an excel workbook that contains area formulas within it...makes for fairly easy checking of individual projects...I create a new sheet for each student and print out for grades.
 * [[file:Geometric Probability Dartboard Peer Review.doc]]- a paper for students to peer review rough drafts of the dartboards
