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.
