My name is Lisa. I
am attending college working on a degree in elementary / special education.
Currently I am taking a class that is teaching me how to teach math. I am starting this blog to share the ideas I
am learning about teaching probability.
I did not enjoy the section on probability in my college math class, so
I have my doubts about how this can be a fun subject to teach. However my teacher’s enthusiasm is highly contagious
so I have hope.
She introduced us to
probability by showing us the Monty Hall Problem. Here is a great YouTube video explaining it.
It also gave a link to a
website where you can try it for yourself.
I’m still too confused to
know if this is going to be fun, but we will see.
