Probability: Impossible to Certain
The last topic taught in 7th grade is probability. They develop their understanding of probability through analyzing experiments, calculating theoretical probabilities, and designing and running their own simulations to model real-world situations. Standard: CCSS.Math.Content.7.SP.C.5 Understand that the probability of a chance event is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses the likelihood of the event occurring. Larger numbers indicate greater likelihood. A probability near 0 indicates an unlikely event, a probability around 1/2 indicates an event that is neither unlikely nor likely, and a probability near 1 indicates a likely event. Goal: I'd like to provide more visual representations of probability through out this topic include actual spinners, dice, coins. Additionally, I'd like to provide a better foundation in understanding of what is “fair” or likely or unlikely. Additionally, I'd like to make the connection between these understandings and the v...
