From the Horse Race Game to What Students Know
The "Horse Race Game" is a mathematics activity that focuses
on key concepts in probability. One classroom version appears in the
GEMS teacher's guide In
All Probability, written
for grades 3ã6. Your children have probably played this game (or something
like it) in math class.
We invite you to play the brand-new Web version of this game!
As you click on the dice, whatever number comes up is the number of
the horse that then moves ahead one space. Think about which horses
are most likely to win the race, based on which
numbers you think have the greatest chance, or highest probability,
of being rolled with two dice. After you've played the game,
proceed to Two
Assessment Approaches and Student Work. |
