🎯 Objective: Students design simulations to estimate probabilities.

Lesson outline

  1. Simulate a cereal-prize problem.
  2. Run trials.
  3. Discuss.
  4. Exit: describe your simulation.

Lesson 5 of 5 in this unit. In the Lesson Planner this lesson takes 1–3 class periods depending on your timetable: day 1 introduce & model, then practice, small-group reteach and a quick check.

📐 Standard

7.SP.C.8c

Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, Grade 7 — typical US scope & sequence

🏁 Unit goals

  • Find probabilities of simple and compound events
  • Compare experimental and theoretical probability

✅ Check for understanding

End with the exit ticket in the outline. Sort answers into got it / almost / not yet and start the next lesson with a 5-minute reteach for the “not yets”.
