Conditional Probability and Independence
Students calculate conditional probabilities and determine if events are independent.
Key Questions
- Differentiate between independent and dependent events in probability.
- Analyze how the occurrence of one event impacts the probability of another event.
- Construct a conditional probability statement from a real-world scenario.

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.
