Unit 9 -  Data and Probability


Content Emphasis/ Big Ideas

In this unit, students solve contextual problems using measures of center and the range. Furthermore, students determine the probability of an outcome by using the Fundamental Counting Principle or by constructing a sample space. 

Standards:

  • 5.PS.2 The student will solve contextual problems using measures of center and the range. 
  • 5.PS.3 The student will determine the probability of an outcome by constructing a model of a sample space and using the Fundamental (Basic) Counting Principle.
