10C Probability

10.C Determine, describe, and apply the probabilities of events.

Preschool Benchmarks

Describe likelihood of events with appropriate vocabulary, such as “possible”, “impossible”, “always”, and “never”.

• Attempt to use vocabulary to describe likelihood, but not always with accuracy (e.g., “My birthday is always on Saturday.”).

• Use vocabulary terms “always” and “never” in reasonable ways to describe the likelihood of an event (e.g., “Spring always comes after winter” or “We will never have an elephant as a class pet”).

• Use vocabulary terms “possible” and “impossible” to describe the likelihood of an event (e.g., “It’s impossible to walk on the ceiling” or “It’s possible to sit on the chair”).
