Tree Diagrams for Independent Events
Students will use tree diagrams to represent and calculate probabilities of combined independent events.
Key Questions
- Analyze how the probability of an event remains unchanged in independent events.
- Construct a tree diagram to represent two or more independent events.
- Predict the probability of a specific sequence of outcomes using a tree diagram.

Planning templates for Mathematics
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.
