Predicting Outcomes and Fair Games
Students will make predictions based on probability and analyze the fairness of simple games.
Key Questions
- Predict the likelihood of different outcomes in a simple chance experiment.
- Design a fair game using dice or spinners.
- Critique a game to determine if it is fair or biased, providing mathematical reasoning.

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.
