Unit 7 – Probability
We can look at data to make predictions and decisions
In this unit, you will:
- Investigate and describe the relationship between the number of trials in an experiments and the predicted outcomes
- Design and conduct probability experiments to test predictions about outcomes and fairness
- Express probabilities as fractions, ratios, decimals, and percents.
- Find all possible outcomes by listing and counting strategies to solve problems.
Vocabulary:
- Outcomes
- Equally likely
- Event
- Probability
- Favorable outcomes
- Possible outcomes
- Theoretical probability
- Tree diagram
- Multiplication counting principle
- Fair game
- Unfair game

THIS WEEK IN MATH
We are getting into the probability unit now! Our last unit of the year! We will play lots of games, calculate the theoretical probabilities, and compare them to the experimental probabilities.
We will begin our end of the year project this week - making a fair game. You and a group of your peers will create a math review game that will help kids practice the skills that they have learned this year. It will be a blast!
