1. Selecting props:
Students decide on items that they could draw out of a bag, such as cars,
wheels, ribbons, candy, etc. They add a costume and are ready to film their
probability. The scene should be creative. Some examples are: Magician - Dress
up as a magician and draw either white or pink bunnies out of a hat.
Skateboarder: Dress up in skateboarding gear and draw either red or black
wheels out of a backpack.

2. Filming:
Students film their intro. The intro will show all of the objects before they are
placed into the bag or hat. They state how many are black and how many are
red. They ask, What is the probability of drawing a red wheel if I draw ten
times, replacing the wheel each time?"
After the intro, the actual drawing is also filmed.

3. PowerPoint production:
The teacher creates a PowerPoint template to save time. The students import
their intro film and their drawing film into the PowerPoint. They create frequency
tables and graphs to illustrate their data from the movies. They
write questions asking what is the experimental and theoretical probability of the
movies. They also write ten quiz questions about their presentation. They type
answers to their questions and quiz questions. They show their PowerPoint
presentation to the class.

4. Presentation:
Students present their PowerPoints to the class. They learn a great deal by
creating the PowerPoint, but they also get great practice and reinforcement by
watching and answering other students' questions. Students that tell me they
hate math really enjoyed this lesson.
