Determine the theoretical probability of compound events (e.g., two coins or two dice).
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.

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.
