Probability for Kids

<p><i>Probability for Kids</i> features real-world probability scenarios for students in grades 4-6. Students will encounter problems in which they read about students their age selling magazines for a school fund raiser, concerned about their homeroom assignments, and trying to decode the combination to a safe that their grandfather abandoned, among others, all of which maximizes learning so students gain a deep understanding of concepts in probability. This book will help teachers, parents, and other educators to employ best practices in implementing challenging math activities based on standards. Problem solvers who complete all six activities in the book will understand the six basic principles of probability and be high school ready for discussions in probability. <br><br>Grades 4-6</p> Introduction Chapter 1 Likelihood The Junior High School Problem Chapter 2 Randomness The Magazine Subscription Problem Chapter 3 Law of Large and Small Numbers The Basketball Problem Chapter 4 Empirical and Theoretical Probability The Mathematics Fair Problem Chapter 5 Dependent and Independent Events The Volleyball Program Problem Chapter 6 Permutations and Combinations The Safe Combination Problem References Appendix Additional Information About the Author Common Core State Standards Alignment
