Prerequisites:

* List the possible outcomes for a single-event experiment

* Record experiment results using fractions/ratios

* Create a sample space and determine the probability of a single event, given a simple experiment (e.g., rolling a number cube)

NYS Content Standards:

* List possible outcomes for compound events

* Determine the number of possible outcomes for a compound event by using the fundamental counting principle and use this to determine the probabilities of events when the outcomes have equal probability

Students must KNOW the following definitions:

Students will UNDERSTAND:

* Fractions representing probabilities of events are between 0 (cannot happen) and 1 (certain to happen)
* Outcomes for compound events can be found using lists, tree diagrams, or the fundamental counting principle


Students will be able to DO the following:

* List possible outcomes for compound events using tree diagrams, lists, and graphs.
* Convert probabilities into equivalent forms using multiple representations (fractions, decimals and percents)

Expected Timeline: *Note: Please know that this could change slightly due to unforeseen issues.
