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.7.13

  Students will solve probability problems and create simulations to calculate probabilities.

    M.7.13.1   Define the meaning of an experiment, event, trial, sample space, and outcome.  
    M.7.13.2   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.  
    M.7.13.3   Calculate the theoretical probabilities of simple events, the complement of an event, and experimental probabilities.  
    M.7.13.4   Collect data (experimental probability) and approximate the probability of that event by making a prediction based on the collected data.  
    M.7.13.5   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.  
    M.7.13.6   Calculate probability of compound events using organized lists, tables,tree diagrams, and simulations.  
    M.7.13.7   Calculate the theoretical and experimental probability of a compound event as a fraction of outcomes in the sample space for which the event occurs.  
    M.7.13.8   Create and use a simulation to generate frequencies of compound events.
