Target Audience of the Lesson: The target audience for this mathematics lesson is 3rd grade. It can easily be transferred to other grades and just includes working with excel on the computer.
Big Idea of the Lesson: Students will learn how to work in groups and observe and record information on a date spreadsheet. They will also learn probability through this lesson through graphs and charts created on Microsoft Excel.
Overall Goal for the Lesson: Students will be working in groups of about four. One group member will toss a coin in the air 25 times. The students will count how many times it is heads and how many times it is tails. They will then record this information on an excel sheet. The goal of this lesson is to find the probability that the coin with land on heads and the probability that it will land on tails. After they find that, the students will work together to create two graphs to show the data.
