By a fun coincidence, we discovered that in the last couple of weeks, Mrs. Carpenter's math group has been studying probability, while Jesse had also been doing some interesting probability exercises with my group. So, my group took the activities they'd been doing with Jesse, plus a few of their own invention, and we took them in to share with the younger kids. We spun the globe to see where it would wind up, flipped pennies, played a version of red light/green light determined by dice, and "danced by chance"—assigned a movement to each number on a die, and rolled to create choreography! Today, my group finished graphing and discussing our results, and we took our findings in to share. We even videotaped ourselves performing some of the dances, which was lots of fun!
I love this so much.
