Unit Title: How Can We Improve Our Productivity Name: Ohbin Kwon
Content Area: Geometry Grade Level: 9th
CA Content Standard(s)/Common Core Standard(s): Using Probability to Make Decisions

Use probability to evaluate outcomes of decisions. [Introductory; apply counting rules.]

HSS-MD.B.6. (+) Use probabilities to make fair decisions (e.g., drawing by lots, using a random number generator).
HSS-MD.B.7 (+) Analyze decisions and strategies using probability concepts (e.g., product testing, medical testing, pulling a hockey
goalie at the end of a game).

Big Ideas/Unit Goals:

1. Students will be able to distinguish between theoretical and experimental probabilities.
2. Students will be able to predict and make possible decisions based on probability results.
3. Students will be able to use probabilities to test out on average if they are getting enough hours of sleep and analyze what that
says about them and their class as a whole compared to the data.

Unit Summary:
One common question asked is how much hours of sleep are we getting and if we're getting enough, where more times than not, we're
not. Through this lesson on probability, we will be diving into this content and figuring out how this can play a role in our lives and how
it can be used to help improve our productivity in many areas. Probability is defined as the likelihood of the occurrence of an event or the
chance that some particular event will occur. We will be testing out through various scenarios on what the probability is of rolling a
certain number, or the probability of a specific event occurring. Through various scenarios and practice we will be able to use probability
to see how we can use the below data on duration of sleep and how it can relate to us and come to decisions and make strategies based on
our results. We will be partaking in this experiment within our class, and with other periods too, to see if this data we receive is accurate
to the statistical data and see on a probability what the likelihood is of us getting the recommended hours of sleep on average and what
decisions we can come to from these results.
Assessment Plan:
Entry-Level: Quizlet
As we start our lesson, we want to test for
prior knowledge before we head into this
lesson. We will be taking this short quiz on
QUIZLET with a time limit of 5 minutes.
From this quizlet assessment, I will be able
to monitor and assess what each and every
student's understanding of basic probability,
and based on the results, we will be able to
move forward and go into a deeper
understanding of probability and how it can
be used in real life in today's lesson.
This assignment won't be graded, however
if they receive 90% or higher, they will
receive extra credit!
Formative: Quiz-Quiz Trade
Midway through the lesson, we will
partake in this quiz-quiz trade activity,
where each student will get a flashcard,
with one side having the specific question,
and the back side having the answers. You
will all stand up, put your hands up, and
walk around looking for a partner, quiz each
other showing only the front side, and if
they get it wrong, assist your partner in
helping them answer the question and
reveal the back side with the answers. After,
trade the flashcards, hands up, new partner,
and repeat. During this activity, I will be
walking from pair to pair, making sure
everyone is participating, and if a certain
pair seems to be having any difficulties, I
will be there to assist.
Four Corners: I will be dividing our class
into four groups and sending them off to
each corner of the classroom. Within each
group, I want there to be one leader
assigned in making sure everyone is
participating and understanding the
directions and activity. Each corner will
have their own question to answer, and it is
their job to answer the question, and how
Summative: Bar Graph Project
For this summative assessment, we will be
using the bar graph we created in the
graphic organizer and the bar graph data of
adolescents and sleep that I have provided
on the home page to compare and contrast
both of these and answer various problems
individually. After this has been answered,
you will trade your assignment with a pair
and you will peer review/grade each other's
paper based on the rubric that will be
provided, and I will also review/grade it
after too. This will be an individual
assignment.
Exit Slip
Another summative assessment I will
provide is an exit slip, which is a short quiz
on today's lesson that you will answer. It
must be completed and turned in before you
exit my class, and will be given to you on a
half sheet of paper and be completed
individually. This will be a closed notes
assignment.
they received the answer they got as they
will be presenting this problem to the class
and showing how to solve and get the
correct answer. I will be moving from
corner to corner to make sure each corner
has solved this correctly before we move on
to the presentation.

Challenge Questions
During our lesson, I will pause at certain
points and assign challenge questions for
each student to work on independently. I
will assess during this time by walking
around and assisting students if they have
any questions or if they are stuck, I will try
to help steer them in the right direction. I
will provide numerous challenge questions
during lesson and even for homework too
which will be counted as extra credit.

Graphic Organizers
This will be the bar graph each student will
create online of our class and the hours of
sleep we receive, and a list of questions we
will answer on the side after the bar graph
from lesson 3. The bar graph directions can
be found in the lesson 3 tab, and this will be
done after our main lesson as the
understanding of various types of
 probability and practice is needed before we
proceed on this project. This assessment
will allow me to see if the students have full
comprehension and understanding of this
content and connecting how probability can
affect our decisions in life, and how it can
be seen in the amount of sleep we get too.
