Lesson Name Learning Objective Basic Description
Uniform Distributions Have students solidify their Have students learn about understanding of Expected Uniform Distributions, fill out Value, as well as learn about charts to make an expected Uniform distributions. value calculation. Then do dice roll activity as example. Binomial Distribution Understand that Binomial Have students learn about Distributions are a more Binomial Distributions, Have general definition than students fill out charts to Uniform (ie. Uniform make and expected value distributions are a single type calculation. Give students of binomial distribution) questions. Geometric Distribution Understand the difference Students will compare the between a Binomial and odds of getting one success Geometric Distribution. in a n trials, and the probability of getting a Understand that the success in the nth trial. probability of success greatly effects the odds of getting a Give students questions. success early. Hypergeometric Distributions Understand that Define Hypergeometric series Hypergeometric is the odds of for students. Show a basic With Learning Task choosing a specific example and give Visual combination from a total. representation of answer to students. Learn to think of Hypergeometric as “This is Assign Learning Task what I selected” not as “This is how many successes I got” as this applies to any hypergeometric not only the simplest cases. Continue Learning Task If students finish task early give them review questions. Review Students will Prepare for test. Assessment Task Assess Hypergeometric Assign Assessment Task Understanding Review Students will Prepare for test Test Students write test If Assessment task was good do not include Hypergeometric on Test
