*NOTE: This file has been organized for double-sided printing. Any blank pages were left so intentionally to make printing easy.

Ideas for Implementation: This bundle has all of the notes, homework, quizzes, and tests to make your life easier and help your students to be successful with probability concepts. A sample pacing guide is included for those of you who do not have a district scope and sequence or if it is very general. Additionally, an answer key is included.

If you notice any discrepancies in the documents or have any questions, please email me at: [email protected].

STANDARDS7.SP.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.

7.SP.6 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.

7.SP.7 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.

• 7.SP.7a Develop a uniform probability model by assigning equal probability to all outcomes, and use the model to determine probabilities of events.

• 7.SP.7b Develop a probability model by observing frequencies in data generated from a chance process.

7.SP.8 Find probabilities of compound events using organized lists, tables, tree diagrams, and simulation.

• 7.SP.8a Understand that, just as with simple events, the probability of a compound event is a fraction of outcomes in the sample space for which the compound event occurs.

• 7.SP.8b Represent for compound events using methods such as organized lists, tables, and tree diagrams. For an event described in everyday language, identify the outcomes in the sample space which composes the event.

• 7.SP.8c Design and use a simulation to generate frequencies for compound events.

HELPFUL HINTS

A few ideas for organizing your curriculum and keeping things nice and neat:

Keep each unit in a separate binder and use the spine labels and covers to keep them looking nice and easy to find. I personally love 1.5” binders.

©Maneuvering the Middle LLC, 2016

Student Handouts

BINDERS

I place my originals in page protectors in chronological order. Any extra copies from that lesson, I hole punch and place behind that page. When I need an extra or a student is missing something from weeeeeeeeks ago, I can simply pull out a copy.

PAGE PROTECTORS

I highlight the edges of my answer keys or if I am really good, print them on colored paper. It helps them to stand out and makes them easy to find on my desk, in a binder, by the document camera, etc. Plus, highlighter doesn’t show up if you make a copy.

ANSWER KEYS

Card stock in a page protector makes an awesome divider. When I set up my dividers, I include one for handouts, activities, assessments, and answer keys. Binder covers and spine labels have been included. J

CARD STOCK

Happy Teaching!

SIMULATIONS

• In order to obtain the probability of various events, a simulation is often

conducted. It allows us to represent the _______________ of a real-life

• This method is used by researchers when it is difficult to collect

experimental data or when the theoretical probability is unknown.

SIMULATIONS AND PREDICTIONS

Brainstorm a simulation that could represent the same probability as the following situations.

1. On a multiple choice question, there is a 25% chance of getting the answer correct.

2. The weather report shows that there is a 50% chance of rain.

3. An average basketball player makes 66% of his free throws.

4. There is an equally likely chance that a baby is a boy or a girl.

Use a simulation to determine the likelihood of each event occurring.

occurrences by setting up and solving a proportion.
