2. Technology Integration
• Probability is something we experience every day.
What are the chances that there will be a rain
shower today? What are the chances I roll a six
on a die? Technology allows us to find these
answers, analyze what they mean, and easily
show them to our peers. Students and teachers
can share data and make comparisons instantly
using real world examples that interest them.
That is why it is essential for technology to be
incorporated in the classroom.
3. Technology Integration
Continued
• Students can also find resources online to help
them learn the material. There are games,
worksheets, and videos available to aid them
in learning to the best of their ability.
• Students also have access to online tools
(spinners, dice, animations, etc.) that can help
them visualize and analyze the material better.
Access with Flash
Access with WMV
4. Internet Content
• Videos, blogs, and podcasts allow students to use
outside resources to see practical examples that
relate to their interests. They are also able to
reinforce the lessons they learn in the classroom.
Students instead of questioning the relevance of
mathematics in their daily life can be surrounded
by answers. The internet provides the most up to
date information alongside animations to peak
the interest of those who are curious and willing
to learn.
8. Internet Resources
• The internet is a great source for students to
find aid. They can find answers to their
questions with the most up to date
information. They can also just practice in
order to become more efficient in that
particular area.
9. Internet Resources
• Here are some sites that might help them:
Khan Academy
Khan Academy has hundreds of online tutorials to
walk students step by step through information in a
lot of subject areas.
PBS Learning Media
This site allows students to search their topic and
receive aid through videos, lessons, interactive
activities, etc.
12. Teaching Materials
• This website allows me to create worksheets
in order to reinforce what they already know.
http://www.edhelper.com/
• Here is an app for students to use to practice
their probability. They can choose from an
assortment of tools in order to find answers to
their questions. https://edshelf.com/tool/probabilitytools
13. Teaching Materials
• This site has lesson plans and other resources
to allow me to be organized while getting
ideas from other teachers.
http://illuminations.nctm.org/Lesson.aspx?id=2898
• Scholastic gives students and teachers the
opportunity to find material. Students can
play games in order to enhance their learning,
while teachers can find lesson plans.

15. Internet Uses
• Online Data Sources
This site has ample resources for students.
They can find probability definitions, quizzes,
videos, etc.

16. Internet Uses
• Interactive Websites
– This site allows students to practice their
multiplying or adding of fractions. That is a major
part of probability and is crucial for students to
excel in. http://www.aplusmath.com/fractions/
17. Rubrics and Assessment
• http://www.teachnology.com/web_tools/rubrics/general/
• This site allows me to create my rubrics by
filling in the blanks. I like this because it
already gives me an outline to work with and I
can make it my own depending on the content
or project. These rubrics will allow students to
know exactly what I expect of them before
they work on the assignment.
18. Web 2.0
• In my classroom, I would use wiki’s.
Collaboration in math is essential to work
through difficult problems. All students would
have to make a contribution and correct
mistakes. I would be able to monitor changes,
while giving them hints.

Videos were created through the use of Camtasia Relay.
This video allows students to access a lesson on basic probability from Khan Academy. This is just one of the many videos that students are able to access in order to gain understanding, review, or learn more on khanacademy.org.The link for the video is:http://www.khanacademy.org/math/probability/independent-dependent-probability/basic_probability/v/basic-probabilityThis image was taken off of Google “images”.

This blogging site incorporates a lot of different topics in relation to probability. Some of those topics include: sports, law, science, and math. This can help students see the relevance outside of the normal scope of probability like spinners and die. Students can learn a lot from this site:http://probabilityandlaw.blogspot.comImage found on Google “images” from: http://sk141.k12.sd.us/images/clipart.magnifying%20glass.gif
This podcast allows students to listen and follow along to lessons on probability. Students can listen to gain more knowledge and to grasp a deeper understanding of a topic aimed directly at students from K-12. It is all free and there are over 50 lessons to listen to.The podcast links to: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/probability-statistics-by/id512296799?mt=2Image is from Google “images” http://www.deism.com/images/deismpodcast.jpg

Graphic Organizer created by Inspiration 9.This diagram would be after I introduced probability to my students. It is to display all the possibilities of a coin toss. The first time a coin is thrown there is a one in two shot of a student getting heads, but then the next time it is thrown it is completely independent of the result before it. This diagram is a good visual for students to see that. Therefore, this will be distributed to the students, so they can record their results.This visual will enhance student learning because it will connect definitions that were learned prior to this display to an activity that they will do. They will look at this while performing the coin flip. This will be able to reach all kinds of learners, especially those who are visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learners.

This website offers resources for students like quizzes, definitions, videos and so on. This will help me because I can give students outside resources in order for them to seek help if they are struggling.
This website allows students to practice their adding and multiplying of fractions among other mathematical operations. I am focusing on the multiplication and addition of fractions because that is a huge part of probability. I would use this in order for students to practice this before introducing the topic of probability. Then I would use it again, if I saw a student struggling.
