FHS students in Mrs. Julie Petersen’s Standards Math class calculate the probability of events. First they determined the theoretical probability and then completed trials for an experimental probability. Flip a coin, roll the dice and draw a card. Upon completion of the lab, a student was overheard saying, “This class goes fast while we are busy experiencing math.” Another student was surprised to learn how rare some probabilities are, such as drawing a four out of a deck of cards compared to spinning a coin to land heads up.
