Instructional Ideas
- Consider having the class perform the final activity as a mock end-of-course question, then use the rubric and exemplars to self- or partner-grade their responses
- Divide the class into pairs and have them devise their own number cube sets and predict the outcomes for their creation
- Great activities and problem sets to break up as review problems in the weeks after a probability unit has finished, or use as substitute lesson plans
Classroom Considerations
- If colored pencils are used for the activities, considerations such as labeling colors might be necessary for visually impaired or colorblind pupils
- Color copies or labeling of the main activity are necessary to preserve the blue and pink on the number cube examples
- If accommodations for ESL or SPED students are required, several scaffolds and supports are available in the resources section of the unit
Pros
- Clearly explained rubric and graded exemplars provided for main performance task
- Extensive supports and teaching notes for all activities, including common sticking points and strategies for overcoming them
- Thoroughly labeled and detailed answer keys for all activities
Cons
- Apparent links in the Resources section on page 24 aren't actually hyperlinked to any websites
