Jackpot Journey Slides
A visual slide deck for small-group intervention on expected value. It defines random variables and probability distributions, walks through the E(X) formula, and provides a guided dice game example comparing theoretical vs. experimental outcomes.
Odds Overcome Guide
A comprehensive teacher facilitation guide for the expected value lesson. Includes instructional objectives, common misconceptions, slide-by-slide teaching notes, and a progress monitoring tracker for small-group intervention.
Payoff Path Worksheet
A scaffolded student worksheet that builds intuitive understanding of expected value. Students move from simple coin flips to more complex weighted probability distributions, ending with the theoretical calculation for the lesson's main dice game.
Trial Tracker Sheet
A specialized data collection sheet for the dice game experiment. Students record individual trial results, calculate their personal experimental mean, and compare it directly to the theoretical expected value.
Winning Hand Exit Ticket
A concise exit ticket assessment to measure student mastery of calculating and interpreting expected value for a simple game of chance. Includes a probability distribution table and interpretation prompt.
