Overview of Activities

1. The Probability Scale; Words Describing Chance:

• Definitions and given scenarios
• Chance and Data (language of chance); class surveys

2a. Theoretical Probability: Manipulatives

• spinner numbers
• spinner names
• spinner colors
• marbles
• dice numbers
• playing cards

2b. Theoretical Probability: Tree Diagrams and Grids

• possible outcomes of two coins using a tree diagram and a grid
• possible outcomes of a coin and a dice using a tree diagram and a grid
• possible outcomes of a dice and a spinner using a tree diagram and a grid

3a. Theoretical and Experimental Probability:

• Rolling a six-sided dice a given number of times.
• Tossing two coins a given number of times.
• Spinning a spinner a given number of times.
• Picking an M&M color a given number of times.

3b. Experimental Probability:

• Dice roll to find the number of trials and relative frequency of the numbers rolled.

• Group experiment to toss a coin a given number of times and record the total heads, total tails, total outcomes, and relative frequencies of heads and tails (fractions and decimals) for each group. This is to prove the law of large numbers that indicate that as the number of trials increase, the relative frequencies tend to get closer to the expected value (0.5) of tossing a coin.

4. Word Problems for both theoretical and experimental probability outcomes:

Nature of Problems (sample space, lists, tree diagrams)

• Picking a favorable outcome from given possible outcomes.
• Problems pertaining to coin tosses and dice rolls
• Real-life problem: left-handed, right-handed people
• Problems involving possible combinations shown via a tree diagram
• Problems with Spinner spins

5. Independent Probability Events

Determining the Independent Probability of events using:

• Playing Cards
• Dice Numbers
• Coin Tosses
• M&M's Candy
• Spinners
• Word Problems
• Lists and Tree Diagrams

6. Dependent Probability Events

Determining the Dependent Probability of events using:

• Playing Cards
• Visual Images
• Letter Tiles
• Marbles
• M&M's Candy
• Word Problems

7. Assessment

• 10 Print and Digital Sheets comprising 61 questions.
