Game-Based Learning

Game-Based Learning:

 In Mr. Ho's MDM4U1 (Grade 12, Mathematics of Data Management) class, Mr. Ho often provides opportunities for his students to learn math concepts through playing games.  Examples of games Mr. Ho's students played in the class are the bingo game, the Poker game, and games of chance.

Bingo Game:

Here is a video clip and a lesson handout for the bingo game activity in the MDM4U1 (Grade 12 Mathematics of Data Management) course, designed to help Mr. Ho's students understand the difference between ordered and unordered winning numbers.  This bingo game activity is a good introduction to combinations after students have finished the unit on permutations.

Poker Game:

Here is a video clip and a lesson handout for the Poker game activity in the MDM4U1 (Grade 12 Mathematics of Data Management) course. This material is intended to help Mr. Ho's students understand the probabilities of obtaining different types of Poker hands.

Games of Chance:

Here are the video clips showing Mr. Ho's students creating their games of chance as their culminating projects for the MDM4U1 (Grade 12 Mathematics of Data Management) course.
