48- Integrating Probability and Geometry through Shape Rolling

Thursday, November 7, 2013: 10:30 AM-12:00 PM
Room 108 (Kentucky International Convention Center)
Lead Speaker:
Michael Daiga
Co-speakers:
Erin Ingwersen and Jill Balke-Niehoff


Dice have been used to discuss probability, but what if regular cube-shaped dice were stretched to make rectangular prisms? On what side would you expect the dice to fall? You will get the chance to roll different shapes and discuss how high school students used these shapes in lessons that bridge geometry and probability.
