Use tree diagrams, frequency tables, organized lists, and/or simulations to collect data from a two-step simulation of compound events (using two coins and/or two dice).
Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Use items like coins to determine the probability of an outcome (1/2 heads).
  • Using manipulatives and a chart to capture the outcomes of coin flips or dice rolls.
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)
  • Use a chart to capture the outcomes of coin flips or dice rolls.
  • Understand the concepts, symbols, and vocabulary for: probability, likelihood.
General Information
Number: MAFS.7.SP.3.AP.8b
Category: Access Points
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.
