Probability of Independent Events using Two-Way Tables
Students will calculate the probability of independent multi-step events using two-way tables.
Key Questions
- Compare the effectiveness of tree diagrams versus two-way tables for representing outcomes.
- Analyze how a two-way table visually represents all possible outcomes of two events.
- Construct a two-way table to determine the probability of combined events.

5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
