Description

This 19-slide Power Point is a great way to introduce basic probability concepts and terminology.

Why should you purchase this lesson?
• no prep
• engages the visual learner
• improves note-taking skills
• may improve student focus
• may improve student motivation

Goes through chance events, probability (theoretical and experimental), reporting probability as (P)event=x, and has numerous examples, guided practice, and independent practice.

Students MUST be comfortable converting fractions to decimals and percents.

Although this aligns with 7th grade CCSS, these lessons could be used for 6th or even 8th grade students studying the same concepts.

This is NOT a unit, an assessment, homework, or cooperative learning.

Only basic knowledge of Power Point required.

File is in .ppsx (Show) format.

If you decide to purchase, please leave me feedback about this product. Thank you for your business!

Great resource and time saver. Gets to the point with practical examples. You had a You Try with theoretical, I would like to see one with added for them to try with experimental also. But not a big deal, I can do that myself. Thanks

I am glad you are pleased with the lesson. I hope you will find other math PowerPoint lessons in my store that you can use with your students. I suggest the Probability Project (a fun, carnival-style game project). I also hope you will follow my store and blog. Thank you for your business and feedback!

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
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.
