Probability and Data Analysis

Mrs. Zapia's lesson on estimating probabilities involves understanding probability concepts, playing a game to collect data, and analyzing the results to estimate probabilities. The lesson also includes an experiment with animal crackers to further explore probability estimation. Students learn to express probabilities as fractions, decimals, and percentages, and understand the concepts of impossible and certain events.

What is the main focus of the lesson introduced by Mrs. Zapia?

• Understanding geometric shapes

• Learning about algebraic expressions

• Exploring historical events

• Estimating probabilities by collecting data
