Lesson Outline
After our hour session of Algebra, Marcos felt a bit fried in the brain! We did an activity that involved listing the sample space from tossing 2 cubes and 2 tetrahedron die. We then looked at the probabilities of rolling different sums. We compared the probability of rolling a sum of 4 with 2 cubes to a sum of 4 with the tetrahedron. Marcos had to answer the question "Is the probability of rolling a 4 the same with both types of die? If it is different, why?" In fact, the probability of rolling a sum of 4 with tetrahedrons is greater than with cubes because the sample space of rolling cubes is greater.
