Description

SAVE YOUR VALUABLE TIME! Ontario math teachers love our UPDATED Probability units! Lesson plans, centres, activities, worksheets, and assessments cover theoretical probability, experimental probability, tree diagrams and more.

Our units encourage students to use and develop their Knowledge, Application, Thinking, and Communication skills in a way that will prepare them for success in the future.

"I have used many of the Ontario Math resources created by Past The Potholes and love them all. The Google slides make presenting lessons easy, and this package is complete with 3 part lessons and engaging stations activities."

Please Note: We combined the grade 7 and 8 units because the expectations are extremely similar.

"Best resource I've ever purchased! Comprehensive like you cannot imagine. An incredible value!"

UNIT OUTLINE

LESSON PLANS

Please Note: Answers and Teacher Notes are included in the lessons.

The newest version is Google Slides. I project these in my classroom for students to see. It reduces photocopies and makes life much easier because the setup is done in advance.

We have created lessons that correspond to each of the expectations of the Ontario math curriculum. All lessons follow a 3-part format including expectations, learning goals, examples, minds-on activities, action activities, extension/discussion activities, and consolidation activities. In some instances, there are two lessons to cover an expectation because of the depth and/or difficulty. I would suggest you move on at a pace appropriate for your students.

2020 Ontario Math Lesson Update: (6 lessons)

  • D2.1a - solve problems involving probability
  • D2.1b - solve problems involving probability
  • D2.2a - determine and compare theoretical and experimental probability
  • D2.2a - determine and compare theoretical and experimental probability
  • Bonus - Real-world applications
  • Bonus - Making predictions

The Original lessons are still available as part of this package.

  • Lesson 1: Review of Concepts from grade 7
  • Lesson 2: Theoretical vs Experimental probability
  • Lesson 3: Analyzing tendencies of experimental probability
  • Lesson 4: Complementary events

STATIONS (CENTRES)

Give your students to work on the material in a different way. I use this as an opportunity to spend some time with GUIDED GROUPS (Questions included) for the first half of the period and monitor/assess during the second half of the period. If you have a challenging class, this can a difficult routine to establish, but well worth the effort!

  • Guided stations x 2
  • Calculation Station
  • Probability War

Digital Classroom Slides (2021 Update)

We have created a copy of the lessons that can be shared in your Digital Classroom. The slides are the same but the Teacher's Notes and Answers have been removed.

UNIT WORKBOOK (2021 update)

Upon request, we created a workbook that addresses each curriculum expectation. Teachers can print the sheets for their students or share them directly in their digital classroom.

2022 Workbook Update: We've created a self-checking version of the workbook using Easel.

I found this super confusing to unpack. I didn't expect a bunch of google drive links. I would have been much happier with a simple .pdf that I could look through and print, like the majority of my purchases on this site. Nor do I want to have to watch a video tutorial of how to access the files.

I'm so sorry to hear that this unit was confusing for you. As detailed in the description, our units are delivered in a comprehensive Google Drive folder as they are so much more than worksheets. A simple PDF quite honestly would be incredibly impractical, and would most likely crash your computer, as it would be too large. As described in the product listing, we use research-based, best practices which include collaborative 3-part lessons, engaging math centres, review games and activities as well as practice materials (which includes worksheets) and unit assessments. Everything comes with teaching notes and answer keys. The vast majority of this can be done using a projector and whiteboard/Smartboard, without the need to print - saving you time at the printer and paper! It sounds like you may not have really delved into the actual included resources, after being discouraged by the Google Drive folder. We would definitely encourage you to give the materials a try to discover how engaging and student-driven they are. However, if you'd rather use a set of simple worksheets, we'd recommend reaching out to TPT at support@teacherspayteachers.com and request a refund. Thanks!
