Estimate the Sum of Decimals (Hundredths Place)
- Grade:
- 5
- Subject:
- Math
This number sense lesson focuses on estimating the sum of decimals to two places. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students round all numbers to the nearest whole number, and rewrite the addition problem using the rounded values. Then, they add the rounded numbers. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
Approximate Conditional Probabilities to Determine If Events Are Independent
- Grade:
- High School
- Subject:
- Math
This conditional probability lesson teaches students how to construct and interpret two-way frequency tables. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students will use data from a sample group relating to two different categories to estimate simple and conditional probabilities. Students will interpret data given in the table and narrative forms and construct a two-way frequency table from the narrative data.
