Before I boarded the flight the gate agent was looking for volunteers to take an alternate flight due to overbooking. This seems like a good time to share the TED-Ed lesson Why Do Airlines Sell Too Many Tickets? In Why Do Airlines Sell Too Many Tickets? students can learn about the mathematics that airlines use to maximize the revenue that they can generate from each flight. That math includes calculating the probability that everyone who holds a ticket for a flight will actually show up for the flight. The way that probability is calculated is explained in the video. Finally, the lesson asks students to consider the ethics of overbooking flights. Watch the video below or go here to see the entire lesson.   This post originally appeared on Free Technology for Teachersif you see it elsewhere, it has been used without permission.               Related Stories Share Math Playground Activities to Google Classroom Virtual Manipulatives for Mathematics Lessons NRICH - Another Good Place to Find Math Activities   • Email to a friend • Fall Time-lapse - A Video Project The fall is my favorite season of the year. I love waking up to cold, crisp mornings then enjoying mild days outside. In fact, that's what I'm planning to do tomorrow morning. This time of year always reminds me of one of my favorite uses for time-lapse video creation tools. The outline of my time-lapse of autumn project is included below. The idea is to take one picture every day to document the changes in the foliage as we progress through autumn from the first few orange leaves to full-blown autumn foliage colors to the drab brown we see after in the winter. Here's how your students could create their own autumn foliage time-lapse videos. 1. Take one picture per day of the same view or of one singular tree.  Using a cell phone is probably the best tool for this because students rarely go anywhere without one. 2. Upload the pictures to a Google Drive folder.  It only takes one tap to move photos from a phone phone to a Google Drive folder labeled "Fall foliage." If This Then That has a recipe for doing this automatically from Android phones and from iPhones. 3. After four to six weeks, upload photos to JellyCam or Stop Motion Animator and create your timelapse.  JellyCam is a free video editing program for Windows and Mac users. You can easily adjust the duration of each frame and easily add a soundtrack to your video. Click here for a video about using JellyCam. Stop Motion Animator is a free tool for creating stop motion movies on Chromebooks.
