Mathematics Grade 7 [2011]

• Combinations
  In the two lesson plans presented here, students analyze possible combinations of clothing and ice cream cones.
• Conditional Probability and Probability of Simultaneous Events
  This lesson plan is designed to help students understand and use the formula for probability of simultaneous independent events.
• Events and Outcomes (Counting) video
  This video introduces and explains the topic.
• Experimental Probability
  Using devices such as spinners and dice, students can conduct probability experiments in this lesson plan's applet.
• Fire Assessment
  This lesson's applet allows students to create a forest fire simulation and then estimate the percentage or fraction of trees that are burned.
• Fire: Modeling Probability
  This lesson is designed to help students understand probability and chance and understand it in real life situations.
• Introduction to the Concept of Probability
  The goals of this lesson are that students will understand the definition of probability, outcomes in probability, and know how to calculate experimental probability.
• Marbles
  This activity helps the student understand randomness and probability by pulling marbles out of a bag.
• Permutations and Combinations video
  This video introduces and explains the topic.
• Probability
  Students learn about probability in this lesson by predicting the outcome of experiments and playing racing games.
• Probability and Geometry (elementary)
  This lesson asks students to practice calculating probability and understand how probability problems can be solved with the help of geometry.
• Probability of Dependent Events video
  This is a video introduction and explanation of the topic.
• Probability of Dependent and Independent Events
  This Teaching Channel video shows how students can identify and create examples of independent and dependent events. (Common Core Standards Math.7.SP.8a) (5 minutes)
• Probability of Independent Events video
  This video introduces and explains the concept.
• Probability: Playing with Fire
  This lesson is designed to help students understand possible outcomes of a probability experiment.
• Racing Game with One Die
  Students can simulate a race between two cars with the roll of a die and learn about probability through this activity.
• Racing Game with Two Dice
  By using the applet embedded in this lesson plan, students can simulate a race and learn about probability.
• Replacement and Probability
  This lesson will help students learn the difference between sampling with and without replacement.
• Spinner
  By manipulating a spinner and its pointer students will learn about probability in this activity.
• Statistics and Probability - Standards 5, 6, 7 and 8 Curriculum Guide
  The Utah State Office of Education (USOE) and educators around the state of Utah developed these guides for Mathematics Grade 7 Cluster "Investigate Chance Processes and Develop, Use, and Evaluate Probability Models" / Standards 5, 6, 7 and 8.
• Student Task: Card Game
  In this task, students will use probability to make predictions about a card game.
• Student Task: Charity Fair
  Ann is in charge of a "Lucky Dip" game to raise money for charities. In this task, students use the rules of probability to advise Ann on how to improve the game so that it raises more money.
• Student Task: Short Tasks – Statistics and Probability
  A set of short tasks for grades 7 and 8 reinforcing statistics and probability.
• Student Task: Spinner Bingo
  In this task, students must use math to figure out the best way to play a number bingo game.
• Students Task: Lottery
  In this task, students must use math to decide whether a lottery idea will make money.
