Math Project II My book was geared toward a 3rd grade level. According to the TEKS 3rd grade geometry and measurement: the student applies mathematical process standards to analyze attributes of two-dimensional geometric figures to develop generalizations about their properties. The first math problem in the book is one of probability. What are the “odds” that 3 children can get two bedrooms clean in 1 hour? This would be an experimental probability problem because I am conducting an “experiment”
