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.
Its funny, since we had this lesson, anytime I watch lets make a deal I totally try to analize switching curtians when offered.
