Temple Hill Math Day
~For Math Day, the MSMC Math Club members, under the advisement of Dr. Fothergill, created stations for the students of Temple Hill Academy in Newburgh, NY. Each station consisted of a Math Activity for students to participate in with questions to solve. My station was a probability activity at the Kindergarten level.
We found the probability of flipping a certain color on a two-sided disc - when the trials are repeated, the chances of getting each of the colors gets closer and closer to 50/50. Each Kindergarten student had a chance to flip, and a tally was taken to show the number of flips per color. In addition, there was a Spanish-speaking class that came and I used my basic Spanish knowledge to communicate the math ideas behind this activity. To Russia With Skype
