Dear Families,
My name is Byron Yoder and I am the Social Studies Student Teacher with Mrs. Silbaugh for the second semester. I will be graduating this December from William Penn University, and I will then move into my first classroom as a social studies teacher at Highland High School.
This week in Statistics class students are designing games of chance. They are applying what they have learned about probability, fair price and expected value to design games that should be fair - player breaks even over time, and a version that could be used to raise funds for a charity - player loses a little over time and proceeds go to a charity. Students are writing rules and playing each others' games to make sure the games work as designed. On Wednesday visitors will join us and check out the games. The goal will be to see if the visitors can tell which version of the game they are playing and give feedback on the game design.
