Describe the characteristics that make events independent.
Clarifications:
Essential Understandings
Concrete:
- Use two different manipulatives (e.g., spinner, dice and coins) to demonstrate how events are generated (flipping a coin and rolling a die).
- Use pictures (e.g., picture of the coin, picture of die) to record two different events (results).
- List the possible events (results) from two different manipulatives (Example die: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 coin: head, tail).
- Use the list of possible events to show how one event does not affect the other.
- Understand the concept of independent as two events that generate results without affecting each other.

Cluster:
Understand independence and conditional probability and use them to interpret data. (Algebra 2 - Additional 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.
