1 Farmer McGee has been working very hard to keep bunnies out of his carrot patch. He has put up an impenetrable wire fence around the entire perimeter. Each section of the garden is also fenced in. Brad the Bunny has plans to raid Farmer McGee's garden. He has decided to parachute into the garden, smack in the middle of the carrot patch. Unfortunately, the airplane pilot cannot guarantee that Brad will land in that particular area. He does guarantee that Brad will land somewhere in the garden. A map of the garden is attached. What are the chances that Brad will randomly land in the carrot patch? Support your conclusion mathematically. 1 of 14

3 Suggested Grade Span 6 8 Grade(s) in Which Task Was Piloted 6 Task Farmer McGee has been working very hard to keep bunnies out of his carrot patch. He has put up an impenetrable wire fence around the entire perimeter. Each section of the garden is also fenced in. Brad the Bunny has plans to raid Farmer McGee's garden. He has decided to parachute into the garden, smack in the middle of the carrot patch. Unfortunately, the airplane pilot cannot guarantee that Brad will land in that particular area. He does guarantee that Brad will land somewhere in the garden. A map of the garden is attached. What are the chances that Brad will randomly land in the carrot patch? Support your conclusion mathematically. 3 of 14
4 Alternative Versions of Task More Accessible Version: Farmer McGee has been working very hard to keep bunnies out of his carrot patch. He has put up an impenetrable wire fence around the entire perimeter. Each section of the garden is also fenced in. Brad the Bunny has plans to raid Farmer McGee s garden. He has decided to parachute into the garden, smack in the middle of the carrot patch. Unfortunately, the airplane pilot cannot guarantee that Brad will land in that particular area. He does guarantee that Brad will land somewhere in the garden. A map of the garden is shown below. What are the chances that Brad will randomly land in the carrot patch? Support your conclusion mathematically. More Challenging Version: Refer to the original version of the task, and... Suppose Brad the Bunny must replace all of the carrots he eats or damages in his landing. If there is 1 carrot every 1/2 square foot and Brad eats or destroys all of the carrots in the patch, how many carrots will he have to replace? Support your conclusion mathematically. 4 of 14
5 Teacher Note: See page 9 of the PDF to print a complete worksheet with graphics. NCTM Content Standards and Evidence Measurement Standard for Grades 6 8: Instructional programs from pre-kindergarten through grade 12 should enable all students to... Apply appropriate techniques, tools and formulas to determine measurements. NCTM Evidence: Select and apply techniques and tools to accurately find length, area, volume and angle measures to appropriate levels of precision. Exemplars Task-Specific Evidence: This task requires that students measure a map to determine area. Data Analysis and Probability Standard for Grades 6 8: Instructional programs from prekindergarten through grade 12 should enable all students to... Understand and apply basic concepts of probability. NCTM Evidence: Compute probabilities for simple compound events, using such methods as organized lists, tree diagrams and area models. Exemplars Task-Specific Evidence: This task requires students to compute probability using an area model. Time/Context/Qualifiers/Tip(s) From Piloting Teacher This is a medium-length task. To print a copy of the more accessible version of the task with the graphic image, refer to page 8. To print a copy of the more challenging version of the task with the graphic image, refer to page 9. Links This task could link to Easter, gardening or sky-diving. A Web site where students can explore other area probability models can be found at: Common Strategies Used to Solve This Task Most students determine the area of each individual parcel and compare each to the whole. I did have some students use an experimental approach where they designed pencil-dropping simulations. The best solutions were those that combined the two approaches. 5 of 14
6 Possible Solutions Areas of each veggie space Parsley: 2 square yards Lettuce: 11 square yards Tomatoes: 6 square yards Celery: 6 square yards Corn: 7 square yards Onions: 4 square yards Carrots: 6 square yards Total area = 42 square yards The chance of landing in the carrots is 6/42 or approximately 14%. The chance of landing anywhere else in the garden is 86%. More Accessible Version Solution: Total Garden: 16 cm x 16 cm = 256 square cm Carrot Plot: 8 cm x 12 cm = 96 square cm Probability of landing in carrot patch = 96/256 = 3/8 Note: Measurements may vary depending on the size of the printed graphic in the task, but the probability will remain 3/8. More Challenging Version Solution: Areas of each veggie space Parsley: 2 square yards Lettuce: 11 square yards Tomatoes: 6 square yards Celery: 6 square yards Corn: 7 square yards Onions: 4 square yards Carrots: 6 square yards Total area = 42 square yards The chance of landing in the carrots is 6/42 or approximately 14%. The chance of landing anywhere else in the garden is 86%. Carrot patch = 6 square yards 6 square yards = 54 square feet 54 square feet x 2 carrots per square foot = 108 carrots 6 of 14
7 Task-Specific Assessment Notes General Notes This task has the potential to assess several different areas of mathematics, but the focus should be on whether the student has a concept of the probabilities involved. You could come up with an additional rubric or scoring guide to assess measurement accuracy and computation skills for those students who choose to use these. Novice The Novice may address some parts of the task correctly, but much of the solution will be incorrect. Little evidence of understanding probability will be evident. There may be no mathematical basis to arguments made. No awareness of audience will be communicated, and no connections will be made. Apprentice The Apprentice will have many parts of the task correct, but the final solution will be incorrect. Some evidence of understanding probability will be evident. Some awareness of audience will be present. Some correct reasoning will be present, but omissions may be made. Practitioner The Practitioner will achieve a correct answer with all supporting work shown and labeled. Representations will be created to organize the work and display the solution. Math connections will be recognized. Expert The Expert will achieve a correct answer and all work will be shown, labeled and justified. Evidence will be used to support decisions and connections will be used to extend the solution. 7 of 14
