477- Blood Count: Simulating Real-Life Data and Probability

Friday, April 11, 2014: 1:00 PM-2:15 PM
207 (Convention Center)
Lead Speaker:
Tom Murray


Blood Count is a math/science simulation activity where students use random sampling techniques to make a comparison between preset blood sample profiles and a patient’s sampled “blood.” Diagnosis about a possible blood disease is based upon a patient’s profile. We will explore the use of probability and data analysis in this activity and make connections to the Common Core.
