Mini-Lesson Targeted Skill:
Engage learners in a targeted content-driven presentation based on a specific lesson, skill of study. Provide a brief explanation of the skill relevance through modeling and demonstrations. Be prepared to remediate and or reteach when necessary.
(15-20 minutes)
Learners will be able to demonstrate a sound understanding in the study of chance (probability) that translates in manipulating data using mathematical methodologies and analytical techniques (statistics).
Instructional Materials/Activity

Activity 1:
Guided Practice
Engage with small groups to guide lines of thinking.
(20-25 minutes)
The instructor will engage the learner groups in a short oral formative assessment on activity 1.
Activity 2: Measures of Central Tendency with Deck of Cards.
Step 1: Each learner will be given 7 playing cards in which they will be asked find the mean, median, mode, and frequency of each hand.
Lesson Flip /Pull-Outs
