COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, HEALTH AND REHABILITATION LESSON PLAN FORMAT
 * UNIVERSITY OF MAINE AT FARMINGTON

Teacher’s Name:** Brian Jenkins **Date of Lesson:** 5 **(Interpretation)** Students will understand how to calculate the probability of compound dependent and independent events. Students will know formulas; probability of an event, probability of compound independent event, and probability of compound dependent event. Students will be able to evaluate the probability of compound events. c. Find the probability of compound independent and compound dependent events. Use a tree graph to organize and structure the results your team has collected. Within teams, students will research and calculate the probability of various hands being played in a poker game. After presenting each team will open the floor for clarifying questions, then will participate in a class discussion about their product and results. Students will be expected to hand in their results before producing a final presentation. Along with their results the team will explain how they will operate the graphing calculator in their presentation. After presenting their findings students will have the opportunity to gain points for explaining what went wrong, was missing, or incorrect during their presentation, how they could have done better, and why it was necessary for adjustment.

 * Rationale:** This lesson is created to teach students the use of, and the occurrence in every day of, compound dependent and compound independent events.
 * __ Assessment __**
 * Formative (Assessment for Learning)**

The project for this lesson will be creating a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that uses different cells to predict the frequency of an event. Students will be assessed by not only how well they mastered their content, but also their tree graphs will be collected to more or less prove completion. Mastery of content will be determined by how accurate a student’s findings are. Students’ presentations will be graded by a peer checklist. Use a tree graph to organize and structure the results your team has collected. Within teams, students will research and calculate the probability of various hands being played in a poker game. After presenting each team will open the floor for clarifying questions, then will participate in a class discussion about their product and results.

I will review student’s IEP, 504 or ELLIDEP and make appropriate modifications and accommodations.
 * Modifications/Accommodations**

1) Notify the main office. The case of the "Missing Student" is rarely solved in a productive way for the student in question.
 * Absent Student**
 * Attendance**- I expect that all students will come to every class. However, I understand that sometimes things come up, people get sick, and you have to miss class. If such a case should arise that a student misses class I would like you to follow this procedure...

2) Notify me! Call the school, shoot me an email, tell a friend of yours to stop by! This would be preferable to know before class, but again, I understand things come up unexpectedly.

3) Come see me ASAP! I can catch you up with the homework, and if time is available, we can go over the class lesson.

3 b.) If we are unable to arrange a meeting in person, be sure to contact me and I will get the class notes and homework available to you. Whether this is on a class wiki, an email, or giving it to someone to drop off, YOU WILL RECEIVE THE INFORMATION!

If there is any instance where a student should miss class and does not follow the proper protocol, I'm leaving it up to you to get the class notes and homework from somebody. If you're confident you do not need to see me to catch you up, just come check in. If this case is true and you don't need me to assist you, we lost 2 minutes of the day!
 * SO BE SURE YOU COME SEE ME ASAP AFTER AN ABSENCE!!!!!!!**

Students that want to exceed expectations can use the Microsoft Excel program to create probability for Texas Hold’em hands.

Rationale:** This lesson was developed in a way so that all learners will be equally engaged and be given the tools needed to succeed. When students research and develop a presentation for their product they will be expected to do “hands on” work that should provide fun for the entire class, but especially the students who prefer to work collaboratively doing physical work. When students develop their tree graphs they will be able to develop their own ideas and brainstorm first on their own, and after will be able to work within their groups to further collaborate and improve their ideas. Students who need more direction will appreciate the teacher feedback, which will guide them on the correct path to success in creating a powerful presentation using excel. The variety of techniques used in this lesson will keep students who tend to enjoy diversity engaged throughout the lesson. Those students who see things through an analytical lens will already be at an advantage because of the content. The use of excel will also engage these students.
 * //Standard 3 - Demonstrates a knowledge of the diverse ways in which students learn and develop by providing learning opportunities that support their intellectual, physical, emotional, social, and cultural development.//

Rationale:** When developing this lesson many factors came into account. Students’ prior knowledge will be assessed through previous lessons. In the case that some students are not properly prepared for this lesson, we may have to re-teach previous lessons or techniques. Along with students’ current knowledge, this lesson has been prepared with the assistance of the MLR standards. This lesson is developed to ensure students have mastered the ability to evaluate compound events. Through techniques such as cooperative learning styles and integrating the Excel and PowerPoint technologies students will be forced to prove their mastery in a type II way, which ensures that students have at least mastered content.
 * //Standard 4 - Plans instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, students, curriculum goals, and learning and development theory.//

Rationale:** This lesson uses many varied techniques of instruction to both engage students and fit the MLR curriculum requirements.
 * //Standard 5 - Understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies and appropriate technology to meet students’ needs.//
 * (Verbal)-** Students presentations will provide engagement for verbal learners.
 * (Visual)-** The use of the graphing calculator applications will engage visual style learners.
 * (Kinesthetic)-** After all teams have presented the class will play a game of “Quiet Ball” to discuss what they have learned through this project and the use of the calculators.

Students will arrive to class, daily joke. (5 min) Students will get into groups of 6 teams of their choice. (5 min) I will deal hands of blackjack, and we will play a few hands as a class. (10 min) I will explain the difference between compound dependent probability, and compound independent probability, as well as how to calculate it. (20 min) After a few hands, we will determine the probability of receiving these hands. (20 min) I will explain the project I expect students to produce. (20 min)
 * //Standard 8 - Understands and uses a variety of formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and support the development of the learner.//
 * __ Teaching and Learning Sequence __**
 * Students will be seated in a horseshoe around a table in the middle of the room. Students’ knowledge to this point should be sufficient enough to conduct these calculations.
 * Day 1**
 * we will record each hand that arises

Students will arrive to class, daily joke. (5 min) Students will have time to work on their spreadsheets and calculations. (75 min)
 * Day 2**

Students will arrive to class, daily joke. (5 min) Students will present their findings on the probability of different blackjack hands.
 * Day 3**

Day 1: Students will understand that: how to calculate the probability of compound dependent, and independent events. Through understanding how to calculate the probability of compound events, we can make better more informed decisions in “every day” life. Also it helps when playing cards. //Students understand the relationship of probability to relative frequency and how to find probability.// Use the game of Black Jack to explain how probability can be use to help when making a decision in the game.
