Tree Map of Probabilities: Use a Tree Map to assist students with sorting situations by their probabilities. Branches can be labeled: Certain, Likely, Equally Likely, Unlikely, and Impossible or with specific numerical probabilites such as 0, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1... Either provide students with situations to sort or have students find their own situations that would fall into each category. The amount of information you provide (situations or labels or both) can be chaged to meet the needs of a variety of students. This Tree Map can also be a unit long project if you start the unit by discussing what each probability means and then addign situations to the map as the unit progresses through flipping coins, rolling dice, drawing cards, spinners, and other situations.

__**Graphs for Gr. 7 EQ:**__ //Charles, Holly, & Melia// What does the shape of a graph indicate? How can I describe variation in a data set & why should I describe it? Why are outliers important? Why is there variability in data? When are scatter plots useful and what can they tell me about data?
