You might compare the theoretical probability with data collected whilst playing prime climb.
You might have a table of possible dice combinations and the probability of getting two numbers that allow you to move forward two spaces.
Claim (1 minute, 1 slide)
Make a concise statement that explains how close you have got to proving your conjecture.
Is there more data that could be collected to further investigate your conjecture?
Group Project
Groups of 2 to 4 students.
Time will be given on "Games Day Thursday".
Presentations will be on Thursdays throughout the year.
Some groups may present four times, others might only present twice.
Students can continue to investigate the same conjecture all year, and stay with the same group. New people could join the group, and others might leave the group.
Students can investigate multiple conjectures, and work with a different group for each conjecture.
All groups will create a Google Slide Presentation and embed this on their individual Google sites. Hence, each student will have between two and four Google Slide Presentations embeded in their site.
Embed the Google Slides under the date you presented to the class. Write a reflection on how the presentation went for you. You can take your time thinking about your next conjecture.
The first presentations will be in week 5, and a maximum of two groups will present to the class on any given Thursday.
This project allows student the time and space to think and wonder. It is not to be graded, it is to be enjoyed.
Conjecture: an opinion or conclusion formed on the basis of incomplete information.
Proof: evidence or argument establishing a fact or the truth of a statement.
