3rd grade Math Lesson- Probability


Probability was one of the hardest lessons I had to learn in math growing up. A lot of the lessons were just the teacher talking and drilling. I never understood what she meant or even why probability was important. I always struggled with the vocabulary terms and would find myself giving up easily in each lesson. This video gives students more of a visual. Although I am  not a visual learner, this video would have helped me out a little more than a text book. It uses colorful pictures and is repetitive. I think it does a good job of teaching probability and it defines the important vocabulary terms. The speaker is going slow and reviews what was learned at the end of the video.

  1. Great background, Saranda. I love Conjunction Junction - one of my favorites. Good explanations too on why and how you would use these.
