Probability and Counting - Multiple Events - Intro

This math unit begins with foundational probability concepts using simple scenarios like dice rolling, coin flipping, and card drawing, first focusing on specific outcomes and fraction notation. It progresses to calculating and expressing probabilities in decimal form, enhancing students' ability to transition between different numerical representations. As the unit continues, the complexity increases, introducing scenarios that require calculating probabilities for group selections and multiple events. Students encounter more advanced topics that involve multiple spins on a spinner and multiple shapes picked from sets, where they learn to compute probabilities of intertwined events and express these probabilities in fraction equations, decimals, and percentages. The unit emphasizes a thorough understanding of probability principles and their application in varied and increasingly complex real-world-like scenarios, culminating in multi-event probability calculations.Skills you will learn include:

• Probability of multiple events
• All heads, all tails probability
• Dice roll probability
• Bag of shapes probability
