A question for the whole room
One story to open. A room full of ideas to test.
Ready in three steps
- Open the story.Read and try the first pages together.
- Pause for a prediction.At the story’s question, read its choices aloud. Invite a vote and ask, “What makes you think that?”
- Run it. Watch. Wonder.Choose the class’s prediction, run the experiment, and compare what happened with your guesses.
Different guesses are welcome. The experiment gives everyone something to rethink.
Something to put on paper
A one-page prediction and observation sheet. No answers included.
After the experiment: discussion notes
Talk about what happened
- Predict: Maya tosses after five heads and Leo after five tails. Across many repeats, who should get more heads on the next toss?
- Predict: if we flip a thousand times, will the number of heads and the number of tails end up exactly equal? Then check the running tally.
- Predict: does a longer streak of heads make tails 'more due'? Explain your reasoning, then test it.
Where it shows up in real life
- A sports team on a losing streak that fans say is 'due' for a win
- Board-game dice — 'we already rolled three sixes, no way we get another'
- Lottery players who pick a number because it 'hasn't come up in a while'
