Take a Chance!

This unit is designed for students in grades 3-5. Statistics and probability are often areas in many math curricula that are minimally covered and not taught at a rigorous level. These lessons provide rigorous, engaging instruction to make probability applicable and pertinent for students. Students will learn basic statistical vocabulary and perform experiments to determine experimental probability compared with theoretical probability.

The teacher will incorporate literature, technology, and hands-on manipulatives to provide grade appropriate instruction to all students. Students will make predictions, perform experiments, and gather and examine data to make statistics and probability come alive and become relevant.
