This was a very fun and exciting experience. I was extremely impressed with the projects the students developed. Many of them were ready to share about their calculations and how they determined if their game was fair/unfair. It was refreshing to see the young students excited about math and eager to tell others about the projects they've done. While talking to some the students, they expressed how this project was much more enjoyable than taking a test and I think it was a wonderful way to introduce the students to the subject and apply their knowledge to a real life situation where they were able to work with others and communicate with people outside their class.
I am curious to see how they will discuss their findings. While walking around I noticed that many of the kids who were playing the games would listen to the explanations of the students and then choose the winning combinations which could skew the results when calculating the experimental probability.
