Focus: Listing Possible
Outcomes
Outcome?
•Outcome: The result of
an action or event
Let’s start with something
simple!
• Suppose I
roll one die.
List all of the
possible
outcomes.
Helpful hint: when listing
possible outcomes, it is
important to be
ORGANIZED!
Terrific! I think you’re ready
for something more
challenging.
• Suppose I
roll a pair of
dice. List my
possible
outcomes.
I’ll start you off.
• If I rolled a
“1” on the
first die,
what
combinations
can I get?
I knew you could do it!
• Now, let’s list
all of my
possible
combinations
if I rolled a
“2” on the
first dice.
Great job! I think you’re
ready to try the rest on
your own.
• But
remember,
be
organized!
If you finish . . . .
• Answer the following: “How many different
outcomes are possible?”
