PA+Lottery+(permutations)

===Project Sketch #6 PA Lottery ===

11th grade Algebra 2 class

My idea is to teach the math behind permutations through an investigation of the PA Lottery. Students will find the chance of winning many lottery games. First, by writing all the possible winning numbers then formulating an equation or process to find the number of possibilities with out writing them all out. Students will then find the chance of winning other games like box numbers or Mega Millions. Their presentations will vary depending on interest. Groups might use PowerPoint, Prezi, Keynote, Glogster, or Vuvox. A rubric will explicate key learning outcomes. I expect this project to last one week. Students will work on it three times in class and outside of class. The following one of two days will be presentation days. __Framework__ 4. Q: Using one core concept, what real life contexts and other subjects can be incorporated? A: Permutations 5. Q: Incorporate Bloom’s Taxonomy to push past rote learning. A: Illustrate the number of outcomes possible. Justify the permutation method used. Invent a new lottery game. 6. Q: Authentic interactions and 21st century skills A: Collaboration within team. Use the internet to locate information on how lottery works. Watch the PA Lottery. Create a presentation with PowerPoint, Prezi, Keynote, Glogster, or Vuvox. Play classmates new lottery games. 7. Q: Students’ interests? A: Lottery is on nightly. Can win big bucks. 8. Q: Learning dispositions A: Curiosity, cooperation, persistence, motivation, self directedness, ambition __NCTM Standards__ ** 1.
