=== Workshop 5.4 - Building Pascal’s Triangle ===
PROBLEM:  World Series Problem. Two evenly matched teams play a series of games in which the first team to win four games wins the series. What is the probability that the series will be decided in:
  - four games?
  - five games?
  - six games?
  - or seven games?

Use your ingenuity to adapt this high-school level activity into an activity that your own primary level students might undertake.
