I came across this activity thanks to the wonders of twitter, and Jim Noble (@inthinker). He tweeted the details of one of the activities on a site that he co-authors, www.teachmathematics.net. The activity was about creating a fairground to look at probability and can be found here. I thought it sounded like great fun and had a lot of mathematical thought and discussion to. This article, what will look at how the lessons went, what happened and a little evaluation.
