<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> **__Before:__** The class will discuss what the word probability means, followed by discussing what geometric probability means. We will then measure the corn hole board and the circle. We will find the area of both shapes, and divide the two values to find the geometric probability. Each student will get a turn to try and throw a bean bag into the hole. I will keep track of the number of tosses and the number of tosses that make it into the hole. Once everyone has a turn, we will calculate the actual percentage from our experiment. We will discuss the theoretical probability versus the experimental probability. We will discuss what factors prevent the two numbers from matching. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> **__During:__** The students will be split into 6 groups. Each group will be given two different shapes, a measuring tape, a bean bag, a calculator and a form to fill out. The groups are to work with their other team members and find the area of both shapes and the geometric probability of throwing a bean bag and making it in the smaller shape. As they are finding the area and geometric probability, the groups are to fill in the information on their form. The groups are to then experiment and take turns tossing the bean bag at the designated shape. The groups should keep track of how many bean bags make it in the shape and how many tries are taken. When finished, the groups should divide these numbers and find the experimental probability. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> **__After:__** Once the groups have finished and their forms are completed, each group will present their findings to the class. They will show their form to the class by using a projector, and they will discuss with the class what their geometric and experimental probabilities were. They will also discuss what factors prevent or permit the probabilities from matching. Each group will get the opportunity to present their groups’ work to the class.
