Heads Up!, an Internet project developed by Windsor Public Schools runs from
March 24-April 4. It is designed to develop the understanding of
mathematical probability (equally likely outcomes) by collecting a large
amount of data via the Internet. On Monday, March 31, 2003 students from
around the world will flip a U.S. penny 100 times to see that the
theoretical probability and the experimental probability may be different.
By combining all the data and having a very large number of flips, students
will then find that the probability predicts the behavior of random samples
over the long run.
We welcome you to join us. Although designed for Windsor's Grade 5 students,
classrooms at any level may participate as teacher's may adapt the
supporting materials to meet the needs of their students. The project is
open to all interested classes.
To view the complete materials for this project and to register your class,

Please register by Friday, March 21, 2003
