7-5 Practice Integration: Probability Compound Events

Sandwich this lesson between an introduction to using probability models and analyzing compound events. Your class considers a deli discount in which a customer receives a price reduction based on the roll of dice. Will it be a...

An engaging task awaits your starting statisticians: design a menu for a new cafe that offers a total of 240 combinations of a main dish, a side, a dessert, and a beverage. Creative juices will flow as collaborative groups employ lists,...

Learners make predictions and draw conclusions from given information as they learn the meaning of probability in this vocabulary-rich, integrated activity that presents a variety of teaching strategies to motivate and reach all learning...

Roll the dice with this multimedia math lesson on probability. After first viewing a series of three short videos explaining probability, independent events, and dependent events, young mathematicians complete a set of practice...

When finding the probability of an event, learners can get lost trying to make a list of all the possible outcomes. Show your pupils how to organize their thoughts concerning a compound event by using a tree diagram. The video is clear,...

Your learners can find a probability, but what happens when there are multiple possibilities? This video introduces the idea of combining probabilities when there are different choices for the outcome. The examples focus on finding the...

Your learners will be surprised by the thought-provoking, counterintuitive puzzle presented in this short video that models a fun, fictional situation in which a game is played with two number cubes to decide which of two people wins a...

What color does your garden grow? Learners manipulate the number of flowers of two colors in two garden plots. They determine the probabilities of choosing a particular color of a flower in a given plot. Scholars find the relationship of...

Once your learners can calculate experimental and theoretical probability, teach them how to compare their results with this video. Review the difference between each probability and how to set up the ratio from each event. Use the prior...

Learning about probability and enjoying the lesson don't have to be disjoint events. A helpful video guides pupils through a few examples of probability with dice and cards to show how the formula calculates the result.
