Represent Outcomes for Compound Events
- Grade:
- 7
- Subject:
- Math
This statistics, data analysis, and probability lesson focuses on representing outcomes for compound events. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the question and identify the desired outcome. Then, they use a tree diagram or table to determine the outcomes. Finally, they list all the outcomes for the compound event, identify the desired outcomes, and set up a fraction to determine the probability of the event. In addition to the lesson, there are eight pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
Solve Simple Interest Problems
- Grade:
- 7
- Subject:
- Math
This number sense lesson focuses on solving simple interest problems. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students write the known values for the interest formula by converting the rate (percent) to a decimal and the time/term (t) to years, if needed. Then, they substitute the known values in the formula and solve for simple interest. Finally, they interpret the answer. In addition to the lesson, there are seven pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
