For the Cornhole project, we explored geometric probability by creating corn holes, and finding the geometric probability of the beanbag making it into the hole. This included understanding the difference between theoretical and experimental probability, knowing what a sample space was, and of course knowing the geometric probability formula.
As an Honors student, my partner and I had to design our corn hole to represent the mathematician we researched earlier in the year. We chose my partner's, which was Hypatia. To represent Hypatia, we made our board beach themed with seashells that were covered in blood. This was meant to tell the story of Hypatia's death, where she was beat with seashells at the beach for being a mathematician.
