EXPECTED VALUE:ORCHESTRATING UNDERSTANDING
Presentation at Palm Springs 11/6/15
Statistical Inference is Irrefutable!
Take a minute to think about, and then be ready to share with the others at your table:
Name School District Something you really like about the
Probability and Statistics in the California CCS-Math
One thing you hope to learn today
Introductions
3
Deepen understanding of expected value – looking at what it means, not the formula for computing it
Engage in hands-on classroom activities designed to develop conceptual understanding of expected value Special thanks to Sherry Fraser and the
other authors of the Interactive Mathematics Program
Workshop Goals
4
ATP Administrator Training - Module 1 – MS/HS Math
Workshop Norms
1. Bring and assume best intentions.
2. Step up, step back.
3. Be respectful, and solutions oriented.
4. Turn off (or mute) electronic devices.
Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE) Report
Statistical problem solving is an investigative process that involves four components:
I Formulate Questions– clarify the problem at hand– formulate one (or more) questions that can be answered
with dataII Collect Data
– design a plan to collect appropriate data– employ the plan to collect the data
III Analyze Data– select appropriate graphical and numerical methods– use these methods to analyze the data
IV Interpret Results– interpret the analysis– relate the interpretation to the original question
Mathematical Modeling
• What is mathematical modeling?• “Modeling is the process of choosing and using
appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze empirical situations, to understand them better, and to improve decisions.”
• Process:▫ Identify variables and select those that are essential▫ Formulate a model to describe the relationships▫ Analyze and perform operations to draw conclusions▫ Interpret results in the light of the context▫ Validate the conclusions▫ Report on the conclusions and reasoning behind themImportance of Probability and Statistics in K-12 Mathematics

Importance of Probability and Statistics in K-12 Mathematics
Access and Equity
• The study of statistics offers opportunities for Culturally Responsive Instruction by allowing students to collect and analyze real-world data relevant to their lives
• The study of statistics requires teachers to attend to issues of language through– Reading– Writing– Listening– Speaking

Is this a standard deck of cards?
Pick one card at a time with replacement and record the results.
Calculate the probabilities
Use the probability to draw your conclusion

The 5% threshold in Statistics is not arbitrary!
Never Tell An Answer
Please remember the enormous responsibility we all have as learners not to spoil anybody else’s fun.
The quickest way to spoil someone else’s fun is to tell them an answer before they have a chance to discover it themselves.

Events With Different Values
Do “Rug Games” What are we using to compute probabilities?
Now do “Pointed Rugs” How has the previous problem been changed?
Do “Spinner Give and Take” How are “Pointed Rugs” and “Spinner Give
and Take” the same? How are they different? How could “Spinner Give and Take” be
changed to make it “fair”? What makes a game of chance “fair”?
Expected Value
“One-and-One” Who can explain a “one-and-one” situation in
basketball? What is your intuition about the number of
points Terry will make for her team per one-and-one situation in the long run?
Working in groups of 3, at most 4, complete 50 simulations of a “one-and-one” with Terry shooting, and use your data to complete “A Sixty-Percent Solution”
Now create an area model to develop a theoretical analysis of the situation. How many points per situation for Terry in the long run?

Conditional Probability
P(A|B) = PB(A) is the probability of A occurring given that B has occurred.
Example: What is the probability that you will cough at some
point today? What is the probability that you will cough at some
point today if you have a cold? Roll a pair of dice, die G and die H
What is the probability that G = 2? What is the probability that G = 2 given that G+H≤5?
Conditional Probability
Work in groups of 3 or 4, and roll a pair of dice (different colors, G and H) 50 times, and record the values of G and G+H Use your results to calculate an experimental
and Now create an area model and complete the
theoretical analysis: What is ? What is What is ? What is
Hence the formula:
What Have We Done?
Begin with experiences to build a conceptual understanding
Build from there to the formal mathematics
Allow for student agency and authority
