  1. Math Probability Teacher Tips Maureen Curran and Mary Lou Aalbers Hazelwood School District

  2. Probability These lessons are designed to reinforce the following State Math Standards: Explore sample spaces to predict likely outcomes, as well as the manner in which these predictions affect the decision making process.(MO 1.3, 1.7, 1.10, 3.6) Develop and execute experiments or simulations to predict and determine probable outcomes. (MO 1.2, 1.3, 3.1, 3.6)

  3. Teacher Page • You will need to click the mouse to show the answers for activities. This will allow you to control the timing of answers shown. • We suggest that students keep a journal. • It is critical for students to use writing skills to explain their answers. • Please take time to discuss possible solutions to problems. • Click on page to see answers and/or to go to the next page.

  6. What is the probability of rolling an even number sum? A number sum smaller than 4? A square number sum? 18 out of 36 3 / 36 8 / 36 Write like a mathematician in your journal, showing these questions and answers. Click mouse to see answers

  7. What is the probability of rolling an even number sum? P (even number sum) = 18/36 or 1/2 A number sum smaller than 4? P (number sum smaller than 4) = 3/36 or 1/12 A square number sum? P (square number sum)= 8/36 or 4/9 End of Activity
