What educators are saying

This bundle was AMAZING. I loved the no prep aspect and my students loved the guided notes. It aligned perfectly with what I needed to teach.
I LOVE all of these units! The students know what to expect and how the majority of these activities go because of the repetition in each unit. Thank you for outstanding resources!!

Description

A 9 day CCSS-Aligned Probability Unit - including simple probability, experimental and theoretical probability, making predictions, and independent and dependent probability.

Students will practice with both skill-based problems, real-world application questions, and error analysis to support higher level thinking skills. You can reach your students and teach the standards without all of the prep and stress of creating materials!

Standards: 7.SP.5, 7.SP.6, 7.SP.7, 7.SP.8; Texas Teacher? Grab the TEKS-Aligned Probability Unit. Please don’t purchase both as there is overlapping content.

Learning Focus:

  • represent sample spaces and determine probabilities for simple & compound events
  • solve problems involving qualitative and quantitative data
  • select and use simulations and make predictions for simple & compound events

More details on what is included:

1. Unit Overviews

  • Streamline planning with unit overviews that include essential questions, big ideas, vertical alignment, vocabulary, and common misconceptions.
  • A pacing guide and tips for teaching each topic are included to help you be more efficient in your planning.

2. Student Handouts

  • Student-friendly guided notes are scaffolded to support student learning. 
  • Available as a PDF and the student handouts/homework/study guides have been converted to Google Slides™ for your convenience.

3. Independent Practice

  • Daily homework is aligned directly to the student handouts and is versatile for both in class or at home practice. 

4. Assessments

  • 1-2 quizzes, a unit study guide, and a unit test allow you to easily assess and meet the needs of your students.
  • The Unit Test is available as an editable PPT, so that you can modify and adjust questions as needed.

5. Answer Keys

  • All answer keys are included.

How to use this resource:

  • Use as a whole group, guided notes setting
  • Use in a small group, math workshop setting
  • Chunk each student handout to incorporate whole group instruction, small group practice, and independent practice.
  • Incorporate our Probability Activity Bundle for hands-on activities as additional and engaging practice opportunities.

Time to Complete:

  • Each student handout is designed for a single class period. However, feel free to review the problems and select specific ones to meet your student needs. There are multiple problems to practice the same concepts, so you can adjust as needed.

Is this resource editable?

  • The unit test is editable with Microsoft PPT. The remainder of the file is a PDF and not editable.

Looking for hands-on classroom activities?

  • Check out the corresponding Probability Activity Bundle, which includes activities like scavenger hunts, find it and fix its, mazes and more to allow students to engage and practice the concepts. Win-win!

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.
Approximate the probability of a chance event by collecting data on the chance process that produces it and observing its long-run relative frequency, and predict the approximate relative frequency given the probability. For example, when rolling a number cube 600 times, predict that a 3 or 6 would be rolled roughly 200 times, but probably not exactly 200 times.
Develop a probability model and use it to find probabilities of events. Compare probabilities from a model to observed frequencies; if the agreement is not good, explain possible sources of the discrepancy.
Develop a uniform probability model by assigning equal probability to all outcomes, and use the model to determine probabilities of events. For example, if a student is selected at random from a class, find the probability that Jane will be selected and the probability that a girl will be selected.
Develop a probability model (which may not be uniform) by observing frequencies in data generated from a chance process. For example, find the approximate probability that a spinning penny will land heads up or that a tossed paper cup will land open-end down. Do the outcomes for the spinning penny appear to be equally likely based on the observed frequencies?
