CCSS: 7.SP. Investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate
probability models.
5. Understand that the probability of a chance event is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses the likelihood of the event occurring. Larger numbers indicate greater likelihood. A probability near 0 indicates an unlikely event, a probability around 1/2 indicates an event that is neither unlikely nor likely, and a probability near 1 indicates a likely event.
7. Develop a probability model and use it to find probabilities of events. a. Develop a uniform probability model by assigning equal probability to all outcomes, and use the model to determine probabilities of events.
8. Find probabilities of compound events using organized lists, tables, tree diagrams, and simulation. a. Understand that, just as with simple events, the probability of a compound event is the fraction of outcomes in the sample space
for which the compound event occurs.
8th: We continue to think about function models. Our focus this week is on qualitatively describing graphs (stories from graphs and graphs from stories). Check this video of the great writer Kurt Vonnegut Jr. to get a sense of how the math meets storytelling.
CCSS: 8.F.B.5. Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph (e.g., where the function is increasing or decreasing, linear or nonlinear). Sketch a graph that exhibits the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally.
