Investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate probability models.Â
7.SP.5 Understand that the probability of a chance event is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses the likelihood of the event occurring.
7.SP.6 Approximate the probability of a chance event by collecting data on the chance process that produces it and observing its long-run relative frequency, and predict the approximate relative frequency given the probability.

Required Materials: 3 cups per group and a toy car (or anything that can represent the car).
7.SP.7 Develop a probability model and use it to find probabilities of events.
a. Develop a uniform probability model by assigning equal probability to all outcomes and use the model to determine probabilities of events.
7.SP.7 Develop a probability model and use it to find probabilities of events.
b. Develop a probability model (which may not be uniform) by observing frequencies in data generated from a chance process.
