Math Games

Grade 5 - Data Management and Probability

Standard 5.DMP.3 - Practice finding the probability of simple events.

Included Skills:

Probability
• determine and represent all the possible outcomes in a simple probability experiment (e.g., when tossing a coin, the possible outcomes are heads and tails; when rolling a number cube, the possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6), using systematic lists and area models (e.g., a rectangle is divided into two equal areas to represent the outcomes of a coin toss experiment);
• represent, using a common fraction, the probability that an event will occur in simple games and probability experiments (e.g., "My spinner has four equal sections and one of those sections is coloured red. The probability that I will land on red is 1/4.");
• pose and solve simple probability problems, and solve them by conducting probability experiments and selecting appropriate methods of recording the results (e.g., tally chart, line plot, bar graph).
