| Full lesson | Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle} |

This lesson aligns with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Mathematics focusing on grade 5 statistics and probability.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Probability | 5 minutes | Introduce the concept of probability. Discuss terms like "certain," "impossible," "likely," and "unlikely." Use real-life examples that students can relate to. |
| 2 | Probability Vocabulary | 5 minutes | Introduce key vocabulary (e.g., event, outcome, chance). Write definitions on the board and provide examples. Encourage students to ask questions. |
| 3 | Simple Probability Problems | 10 minutes | Distribute worksheets with simple probability problems. Guide students as they calculate probabilities of single events. Provide support as needed. |
| 4 | Hands-On Activity | 5 minutes | Engage students in a hands-on activity (e.g., rolling dice or spinning a spinner) to gather data. Ask students to record their outcomes. |
| 5 | Discuss Results | 5 minutes | Collect data from the hands-on activity. Facilitate a class discussion about their findings and how it connects to the probability concepts learned. |
| 6 | Homework Assignment | 2 minutes | Explain the homework assignment. Remind students they will need to complete additional probability problems at home without presenting them in class. |
Students will complete a worksheet with additional probability problems that reinforce the concepts learned in class. They will turn in their homework the following day without presenting it in front of the class.
Conclude the lesson by summarizing key points about probability and reiterating its practical applications in everyday life. Encourage students to observe probability in real-world situations until the next lesson.
