Grade 7 Statistics & Probability Complete Unit | 12 Lessons | 7.SP

A complete 14-day unit for Grade 7 Statistics & Probability, grounded in the Class Carnival Probability Games scenario. Every lesson connects to the same authentic context, so students see how 7.SP skills work together instead of as disconnected topics.

Every lesson connects to the class designing and running a carnival - surveying student prize preferences with random sampling, comparing booth scores using means and MAD, calculating probabilities of winning each game, building probability models from observed data, finding sample spaces for compound games, and simulating game outcomes. Students see how 7.SP skills come together to plan a real event. The 12th lesson and summative performance task bring it all together.
