Unit 12 probability homework 1 intro to sets venn diagrams

This Probability Unit Bundle contains guided notes, homework assignments, two quizzes, a study guide and a unit test that cover the following topics:

• Introduction to Sets (Universal Set, Complement of a Set, Subsets, Union, Intersection - just basic!)

• Venn Diagrams

• Counting Outcomes (Fundamental Counting Principle)

• Theoretical Probability

• Experimental Probability

• Geometric Probability (Segments, Area, and Volume)

• Compound Probability: Independent Events

• Compound Probability: Dependent Events

• Conditional Probability

• Two-Way Tables

• Relative Frequency Two-Way Tables

• Probability with Two-Way Tables

• Permutations

• Combinations

• Probability with Permutations and Combinations

ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS INCLUDED:

(1) Links to Instructional Videos: Links to videos of each lesson in the unit are included. Videos were created by fellow teachers for their students using the guided notes and shared in March 2020 when schools closed with no notice.  Please watch through first before sharing with your students. Many teachers still use these in emergency substitute situations.

(2) Editable Assessments: Editable versions of each quiz and the unit test are included. PowerPoint is required to edit these files. Individual problems can be changed to create multiple versions of the assessment. The layout of the assessment itself is not editable. If your Equation Editor is incompatible with mine (I use MathType), simply delete my equation and insert your own.

(3) Google Slides Version of the PDF: The second page of the Video links document contains a link to a Google Slides version of the PDF. Each page is set to the background in Google Slides. There are no text boxes;  this is the PDF in Google Slides.  I am unable to do text boxes at this time but hope this saves you a step if you wish to use it in Slides instead!
