Math Curriculum

7th Grade

Course Purpose:

Students will calculate and apply operations with rational numbers to solve real word problems. Students will apply algebraic concepts to solve one-step and two-step equations with rational numbers and apply to real world contexts.

Outcomes and Components:

M.7.6

 

Students will create simulations to calculate probabilities.

Standard(s)

1   M.7.6.1  

Define the meaning of an experiment, event, trial, sample space, and outcome and interpret probability as the likelihood of the event occurring and it is identified as a number between zero and one. (Note that a number closer to one has a greater chance of occuring, a probability of one half is as likely as not, and a number closer to zero has a smaller chance of occurring.)

7.SP.C.5
2   M.7.6.2  

Collect data, calculate the theoretical and experimental probabilities of simple events and the complement of an event, and make a prediction based on the collected data.

7.SP.C.6
2   M.7.6.3  

Calculate theoretical and experimental probability of compound events using organized lists, tables, tree diagrams, and simulations.

7.SP.C.8a

7.SP.C.8.b

1   M.7.6.4  

Develop a probability model (which may or may not be uniform), use it to find the probability of events, compare probabilities to the model, and explain any discrepancies.

7.SP.C.7.a

7.SP.C.7.b

3   M.7.6.5  

Create and use a simulation to generate frequencies of compound events.

7.SP.C.8.c
