⭐ Connecting Probability to Essential Key Concepts ⭐️
Exploring Probability offers authentic opportunities to revisit the Essential Key Concepts of Number Sense:
B1.1 → Read and represent number to 50
Predicting and recording outcomes from simple probability experiments allows students to revisit and strengthen their ability to read and represent numbers.
B1.3 → Compare and order numbers to 50
Predicting the likelihood that category frequencies across multiple data sets match allows students to revisit comparing and ordering numbers.
D2 describe the likelihood that events will happen, and use that information to make predictions
D2.1 use mathematical language, including the terms “impossible”, “possible”, and “certain”, to describe the likelihood of events happening, and use that likelihood to make predictions and informed decisions
D2.2 make and test predictions about the likelihood that the categories in a data set from one population will have the same frequencies in data collected from a different population of the same size

Do students perceive themselves as capable math learners?
Can students describe some of their mathematical strengths?
Do students demonstrate ownership of their learning? (e.g. using the resources and tools in the classroom, asking questions, using feedback to set a personal learning goal, taking risks in their learning)
