In this series of games, your students will learn that the probability of a chance event is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses the likelihood of the event occurring. The Understand Probability learning objective — based on CCSS and state standards — delivers improved student engagement and academic performance in your classroom, as demonstrated by research. This learning objective directly references 7.SP.C.5 as written in the common core national math standards.

Concepts Covered

Probability is viewed as the proportion of successes in a chance process. The probability of a successful event happening is expressed as a number from 0-1. A probability of ½ means that the likelihood of an event happening is equally as likely to happen or not happen. A probability of an outcome of 1 is certain to occur. A probability of an outcome of 0 is impossible and will not occur. Experiment with trails of successful events to show the frequency of events happening.

The lesson explores different probabilities, ranging from impossible (0%) to certain (100%), and how these probabilities can be represented as fractions, decimals, or percentages. Through various scenarios, students will practice identifying outcomes as certain, likely, equally likely, unlikely, or impossible.

Galaxy Escape Estimated Duration: 20 minutes 10 Bright Monsters have been captured in space and they need your help to cross the galaxy jumping between platforms, finding them, and releasing them by correctly answering each question.
