Learner This
lesson is centered around eleventh grade acedemic level math. The
lesson can be modified slightly to be used in any level or grade in
high school. The students will need to know basic data analysis skills
and some basic information about probability and odds prior to doing
this lesson. These skill will need to be briefly discussed prior to the
start of the lesson. The students should already know this material so
this discussion should be used as a review before they start the
webquest. Any other skills needed will be picked up by the students in
the course of the webquest.
