Probability and Area

As we continue to study probability, we've moved into looking at how probability relates to area... how can we make predictions about where an object might fall, land, hit, etc., based on the area of the target? Students began this particular exploration by dropping barley onto a target grid... We will transfer what we are discovering about all of this to questions of how likely it is that we might be in the section where those prize T-shirts land at Great American Ball Park, or what are the probabilities of scoring on your opponent when playing a game like "Battleship."
