How do students use
theoretical probability
to determine the sample
space and probability
for two stage events
Students can use this skill
to determine the
probability of simple one
or two stage events that
occur.
Students were introduced
to two stage events during
the previous lessons and
have prior knowledge
multiplying fractions and
one stage events.

In fifth grade students were
taught to represent
probability of one stage
simple events in fractions
and words.
Students were introduced
to two stage events during
the previous lesson and
have prior knowledge
multiplying fractions and
one stage events.

Practice
Bellwork, teacher will go
over the agenda. Teacher will
complete a quick review of
what is required of homework
for the week and any special
announcements that pertain
the week’s schedule.
Teacher will review the EQ
with students and review any
key terms that pertain to the
lesson.
Teacher will review fractions
with students and how
probability uses fractions to
express answers to those
questions. Teacher will have
students think of different
circumstances that probability
can be used.
Teacher will then model 2
problems with probability.
Teacher will show students
how to express their answer
as a fraction and stress to
students the parts to whole
relationship of the fractions.
Teacher will also show
students non examples of fair
events dealing with
probability. The teacher will
remind students that fractions
must always be simplified.
Guided Practice (we do)
Teacher will start to model 3rd
problem finding the
probability of pulling a vowel
from a bag containing the
alphabet. For a second part to
the activity, the students will
be asked for the probability of
the constantans in the
alphabet.
Teacher will release students
in a partner activity where the
students pair up, create their

Teacher will introduce two
stage events to students. The
teacher will then ask for a few
examples of two stage events.
Teacher will then model how
to find the probability of 2
different two stage events.
Teacher will first complete a
problem with two coins and
the second problem will
involve a coin and a dice.
Teacher will show the steps
to finding the probability of
the two-stage events and
remind students about
simplifying.
Guided Practice (we do)
Teacher will start to model
two more problems dealing
with two stage events.
Teacher will start the first
problem, giving the
probability of one of the
events and then release
students to complete the
problem. For the second
problem students will have
students complete a
controlled release on their
own.

any key terms that pertain
to the lesson.
Teachers will introduce the
idea of completing a tree
diagram for probability.
The teacher will complete 2
problems using a tree
diagram to solve a two
stage event. Teacher will
relate the diagrams to
science class and how they
can be used to classify
animals.
Teacher will make sure
students have a list of steps
that can used to solve these
problems.

After students complete
Bellwork quiz teacher will
pass out probability game
and demonstrate the way
that chips can be put on the
sheet. Teacher will then
explain the rules and hw to
play.
Guided Practice (we do)
Teacher will guide students
through two rounds of the
probability game. The first
round will be the teacher
rolling one di and the second
will be the teacher rolling
two dice.
