Today we started class reviewing probability problems and then taking a quiz. The work ethic of some students hasn't been what it should be, so I was expecting some students would struggle with the problems, which was the case.
After the quiz, we started investigating conditional probability. I use the Abby's Kennel investigation from NCTM's Navigating Through Probability Grades 9-12. This investigation allows students to build a conceptual understanding of conditional probability and to develop procedural knowledge.
We had time for students to complete their data collection portion of the lesson. We'll finish working on this investigation next class.
