Unit 6: Probability 7th grade Mathematics
7 th Grade Comprehensive Course Overview Located on the 6-8 math section of Designed to provide clarification of CCGPS Mathematics Standards Organized to link together many sources of information pertinent to CCGPS 7 th Grade Standards The comprehensive course overviews in grades 6-8 are similar to “grade level overviews” in K-5. They have been created for Coordinate Algebra and Analytic Geometry as well, making them a great tool for vertical alignment.

Rationale for Unit 6 Revisions Prior to RevisionsAfter Revisions The introductory segment was too lengthy and not “teacher- friendly”; could not be consumed efficiently, so many teachers would skip this section. Differentiation suggestions have been incorporated for both enrichment and remediation Some standards were overrepresented by multiple tasks while other standards had no aligned task. Some tasks were removed or heavily edited in order to increase rigor and clarity while others were created. Many of the student versions of tasks needed more clarity in directions and more structure to help guide student responses. Links and explanations for Formative Assessment Lessons and Short Cycle Tasks provided by Shell Centre.
Task Table Notes
Unit 6 Tasks The Unit 6 Tasks Primarily Address: – Determining the probability of an event and describing its likelihood – Developing probability models – Finding probability of compound events using sample spaces – Designing and using simulations to find probability
Purpose of the Tasks Provide Opportunities for Problem-Based Learning – Examples: Check out Dan Meyer, Robert Kaplinksy’s websites Provide several entry points to the standards. Teachers should review all tasks in a given unit to determine which tasks would be appropriate for their students. Tasks can be adapted to fit the needs or your classroom. Most standards are covered by various tasks.

Uses a random number generator Examples of simulations include drawing from a deck of cards, choosing from a bag of colors, using technology, etc. Encourage students to create their own simulations when given a problem. The lesson found in the framework was edited to include not only more explanation for the student, but also a more detailed description for teachers.
Just A Friendly Reminder… The Unit 6 Frameworks are meant to be seen as GUIDELINES – Take from the frameworks what you need for your students to be successful – Note that there are more tasks included within the unit – It is not feasible nor expected to complete all of the assigned tasks within an academic year

How many different ways can a red, blue and green marble be pulled from a bag? What is the probability of getting green, blue and red in that order?
I’m debating whether to enter a contest that has been proposed by my parents. A red, green, and blue marble have been placed in a bag. If I select the green, blue, and red marble, in that order, I do not have to do any chores for the month. If the green, blue, and red marble are selected in any other order, then I must not only do my chores for the month, but do a list of additional chores for the month that my parents have selected. Should I enter this contest with my parents?
