7.11 Probability, Fractions, and Spinners
2
Mental Math
  • There are 5 red and 5 blue blocks in a bag.

What are the chances of picking a red block?
What are the chances of picking a blue block?
What are the chances of picking a green block?

Discuss with a Partner
  • Think of a game you like to play in which the
    players roll dice.
  • How are dice used in the game?

What are other devices used for the same purposes
as dice?

Fairness
  • A fair die or a fair spinner must have an equal
    chance of landing on a particular number or part
    of the circle.
  • For example, if a die is weighted to land on a
    specific number, it is unfair.
  • Also, if a spinner is on an uneven surface, the
    results of the spin are altered, making it unfair.

Summarize your Results
  • What was the likelihood of landing on a
    particular color?
  • Look at Problem 2c the word EXPECT means that
    one would expect the paper clip to land on red
    about 100 times. This does not mean that it will
    do so exactly 100 times. In fact, it probably
    wont land on red exactly 100 times.

Spinner Designers
  • A board game company has hired you to design a
    new spinner for their latest game. Your
    instructions are given on page 211. Work with a
    partner to create the spinners requested.
