Make a prediction regarding the probability of an event occurring; conduct simple probability experiments and compare results to predictions.

Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Use items like coins to determine the probability of an outcome (1/2 heads).
Representation:
  • Identify the formula for finding probability of an event (probability of an event happening = number of ways it can happen/total number of outcomes).
  • Understand the following concepts, symbols, and vocabulary for: probability, likelihood.

Date Adopted or Revised: 06/14 Cluster: Investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate probability models. (Supporting Cluster) : 

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.

Name Description
MAFS.7.SP.3.6: 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. 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.

Lesson Plan

Name Description
Water, Water Everywhere - Natural Disaster Water Filtration:

Students will be tasked with an engineering challenge to design an effective and efficient portable water filtration system. The designs will take dirty water and make it clear so it can be boiled for safe drinking. This lesson aligns to both math and science content standards.
