Math 5 Unit 6: Probability and Mathematical Properties
What question do we ask ourselves?
How is the probability of an event determined and described?
What do we need to know and be able to do?

How are predictions made based on the outcomes of a probability
experiment?

How do number properties assist in computation?

What words do we need to know to master the
objectives?

Ratio
Event
Identity Property
Fraction
Outcome
Zero Property
Prediction
Associative Property
Distributive Property
Probability
Multiplicative Inverse Order of Operations
How will we master the objectives?
 Use manipulatives to conduct probability experiments
 Use mathematical properties to solve equations
 Make predictions based on experiments and express the
probability as a fraction or ratio

Use a fraction or a ratio to describe the probability
of an event.
Conduct an experiment and make a prediction
based on the outcomes of the experiment.
Explain and apply number relationships using
mathematical properties of operations, including
associative (addition and multiplication) and
multiplicative inverse.
Recognize and use identity and zero properties.
Use grouping symbols to apply the associative
property and evaluate expressions
