Finishing unit of Probability

This week in 6th grade math we are competing our unit on probability.  This week we have been learning about:

If you do not know the answer to a true/false test, what is the probability that you can get a good score with random guesses?

What patterns are there in models for binomial probability situations that are equally likely?  How do these patterns help you answer probability questions?

If two teams are evenly matched, how do binomials probabilities help you figure out the probabilities that a winner of the required number of games will occur after a certain number of games?

So basically the class is learning about the result of 50/50 situations performed several times and how this effects the probability of the results.

This is the last week of the pilot math program for this year.  We will be taking the unit test on Friday and will then return to Everyday Math on Monday for a unit on ratios, proportions, and percents.
