Theoretical and Experimental Probability Activities Grade 7/8 Ontario Math Unit

SAVE YOUR VALUABLE TIME! Ontario math teachers love our UPDATED Probability units! Lesson plans, centres, activities, worksheets, and assessments cover theoretical probability, experimental probability, tree diagrams and more.

Our units encourage students to use and develop their Knowledge, Application, Thinking, and Communication skills in a way that will prepare them for success in the future.

"I have used many of the Ontario Math resources created by Past The Potholes and love them all. The Google slides make presenting lessons easy, and this package is complete with 3 part lessons and engaging stations activities."

Please Note: We combined the grade 7 and 8 units because the expectations are extremely similar.

"Best resource I've ever purchased! Comprehensive like you cannot imagine. An incredible value!"

UNIT OUTLINE

LESSON PLANS

Please Note: Answers and Teacher Notes are included in the lessons.

The newest version is Google Slides. I project these in my classroom for students to see. It reduces photocopies and makes life much easier because the setup is done in advance.

We have created lessons that correspond to each of the expectations of the Ontario math curriculum. All lessons follow a 3-part format including expectations, learning goals, examples, minds-on activities, action activities, extension/discussion activities, and consolidation activities. In some instances, there are two lessons to cover an expectation because of the depth and/or difficulty. I would suggest you move on at a pace appropriate for your students.

2020 Ontario Math Lesson Update: (6 lessons)

STATIONS (CENTRES)

Give your students to work on the material in a different way. I use this as an opportunity to spend some time with GUIDED GROUPS (Questions included) for the first half of the period and monitor/assess during the second half of the period. If you have a challenging class, this can a difficult routine to establish, but well worth the effort!

• Guided stations x 2
• Calculation Station
• Probability War
• Problem Solving x 2
• (Media) Video Links
