Objectives
These objectives and strategies may change on a yearly basis along with how they are assessed.
1) Students will be able to define and compute various examples of permutations and combinations.
2) Students will be able to make decisions based off of probability and critical thinking.
3) Students will be able to understand how probability and statistics are used in the real world and be able to apply their knowledge to their daily lives.
4) Students will be able to describe the differences between the addition rule of probability and the multiplication rule of probability and apply both to certain situations.
5) Students will be able to define, describe, and apply the concepts of conditional probability and independence.
Each of these objectives will be examined through practice problems, worksheets, a field trip, and other informal and formal assessments.

Teaching Strategies
1) Teachers may allow students to come up with their own situations and problems to then solve. This will make them seem much more involved in the classroom.
2) Make everything hands-on. Have the students walk outside in order to compute probability instead of just sticking to things in the room.
3) Make sure each example is interesting to each student. Have a variety of problems that will peek different students’ interests. Do not just stick with just sports because not everyone likes sports.
4) Have students work in groups and have them think about different situations and problems. Have the groups discuss the their answers.
5) Use videos and online probability tools (both may be found in the website links) during class so the students are being exposed to various ways of learning.
