Enduring Understandings

• Through probability predictions are made.

• Models or counting techniques assist in determining outcomes.

Essential Questions - most important “big picture” questions students should be able to answer after completing learning activities.

• How would you represent the probability of a simple event?

• What predictions can you make based on theoretical probability?

• What strategies would you use to determine the number of possible outcomes of a simple event?
