About the task card border designs:

If you teach mathematics or statistics, there is a good chance that you enjoyed playing with Spirograph as a child. Spirograph is a toy that involves tracing a circle moving around either the inside or outside of a wheel, making beautiful designs. Well, these designs can also be made on a computer with graphing software and some trigonometric functions. Added bonus: no smudged ink or accidentally moving the paper! Although they aren’t statistical per se, these Spirograph-inspired designs are a great opportunity to convey the beauty of mathematics to students. Spirograph-inspired task card borders are available for purchase here.

This product includes:

1) 20 task cards in PDF
2) A two-page recording sheet in PDF
3) A two-page answer key in PDF


Objectives:

1) Practice applying the concept that two events are independent if their probability of occurring together is the product of their probabilities.
2) Practice working with and interpreting conditional probabilities.
3) Practice applying the complement rule and interpreting the answer.
4) Practice applying the general addition rule and interpreting the answer.
5) Practice applying the general multiplication rule and interpreting the answer.



Common Core Standards:

HSS.CP.A.2: Understand that two events A and B are independent if the probability of A and B occurring together is the product of their probabilities, and use this characterization to determine if they are independent

HSS.CP.B.6: Find the conditional probability of A given B as the fraction of B’s outcomes that also belong to A; interpret the answer in terms of a model

HSS.CP.B.7: Apply the addition rule P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B) and interpret the answer in terms of a model.

HSS.CP.B.8: Apply the general multiplication rule in a uniform probability model, P(A and B) = P(A)P(B|A) = P(B)P(A|B) and interpret the answer in terms of the model
