Worksheet For Recording Ideas For Curriculum Plan Kiriaki-​ purple Tim--red In general terms what are you trying to achieve with these learners? This curriculum web will attempt to connect probability to a student’s life through real-life examples. Therefore, students will understand the basic principles of probability by using examples that will keep them interested. Students will apply probability to their life by collecting data, analyzing, and predicting outcomes for selected examples. This may include a basketball shooting contest, etc.
 * __Your general educational goals__

You will answer this question in Activity 2a. Is there any way you can incorporate here the specific roles the students will be taking within your assighment? (Just to give me a better idea of what exactly they will be doing; like which aspects of their lives will this focus on? will each student be doing something different, such as a shooter, a collector of data, and an analyzer?) I agree with K...I wouldnt add anything to what she put. || Include their age and/or grade level, and other relevant information such as their interests, future goals, and background. This curriculum web will be designed for high school students with a background knowledge in algebra. Probability is a useful tool for all students to become accustom to, no matter what their background is.
 * Description of your learners

You will answer this question in Activity 2b. To make things more straightforward, I would suggest simply stating that the students this is geared for are high school algebra students. Again, agreed. || What subjects, topics, or issues are at the center of this curriculum web? The topics that would be represented in the middle include the definition of probability, how to calculate probability, different forms of probability, the use of statistics to calculate probability, and personal and/or real-life examples of probability in students’ lives. ie. joint probability, conditional probability, etc.
 * __Description of your subject matter__

You will answer this question in Activity 2c. I would suggest you start off by stating that the major subject concerns Probabilty, and then add the focuses of the more detailed subtopics. (Go from general to more specific.) Again agreed.. Def state what the task is than get into the specifics. || List your desired outcomes in terms of changes in the learners’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Students will be able to identify the equations used to find probability. Students will be able to calculate probability from a statistical data set. Students will be able to identify probability use in their own lives Students will be able to base their decisions and reasoning based on probability. Students will be able to present and explain their real-life examples to their group and class. NYS Standards: 1. Students use mathematical reasoning to analyze mathematical situations, make conjectures, gather evidence, and construct an argument. 2. Students use number sense and numeration to develop an understanding of the multiple uses of numbers in the real world, and use of numbers to communicate mathematically, and the use of numbers in the development of mathematical ideas.
 * __Detailed learning objectives__

You will answer this question in Activity 2d. || What relevant knowledge, skills, and attitudes do you expect your learners to have before they begin using this curriculum web? -Ability to calculate statistical values from a data set such as averages and ranges. -Ability to identify numerical relationships such as numerators and denominators from numerical representations. (fractions, decimals)
 * __Expected prerequisites__

You will answer this question in Activity 2e. I don't quite understand the term 'numerical relationship' from second prerequisite. Does that have anything to do with ratios or proportions?

I would use the "simple" language Dr. S tells us to use. What do you mean by numerical relationships? || In a short sentence of phrase, describe what you want to teach to whom This curriculum web will teach high school math students how to identify, calculate, and utilize probability, allowing them to apply math to their personal lives, encouraging them to use math outside the classroom.
 * __Summary aim__

You will answer this question in Activity 2f. This is a nice summary, but I think it is a run-on sentence. (Maybe change "allowing" to "which allows them ...and encourages them...") || Justify the use of time or other expenses to achieve the aim written above. Why should these learners reach your objectives? This curriculum web will provide students with a mathematical tool to use in their own lives. With the application of math, students can use probability to make better decisions, basing their choices on mathematical theory and evidence. Probability surrounds our lives through many aspects, and knowing how to identify, calculate and evaluate probability figures can benefit the choices made in our everyday lives.
 * __Rationale__

You will answer this question in Activity 2g. Great justification; The term "tool" might be taken literally; maybe you can use "knowledge" instead. ||
