In this performance task, students consider two scenarios in a card game and conduct an experiment to analyze and compare experimental to theoretical probabilities with different game rules. In doing so, students will calculate probabilities to explore the effect of independent vs. dependent events on the outcomes in the card game.

Key concepts include:
a) conditional probability;
b) dependent and independent events;
c) mutually exclusive events;
d) counting techniques (permutations and combinations); and
e) Law of Large Numbers.

This unit connects with the third grade Social Studies Unit 1, Ancient Rome. In the Social Studies unit, students study and learn about the values and beliefs of the ancient Roman Empire. In this literature unit, students begin to see the role that myths, gods, and storytelling had in ancient Rome by reading a collection on Roman myths. While reading the myths, students will be challenged to think about how the myths illustrate and show the beliefs and customs of the Roman Empire. Students will also be challenged to think what the myths teach about retaliation and generosity.

In reading and writing, this unit focuses on helping readers solidify their understanding of the connection between recounting stories, determining a central message, and using details to explain how the central message is conveyed. Through multiple readings of the same myths, students will be able to analyze and discover the way in which messages are developed. Students will then be pushed to articulate this understanding both orally and in writing. Rereading the same myth multiple times also supports students fluency and vocabulary development.

This is a two lesson resource which introduces students to line plots, frequency tables and histograms. In these lessons students both construct and interpret.

Students will create a question, gather data, and learn about how to use If-Then Statements in Excel to organize that data. They will end up with a histogram that models the data they collected and be able to discuss the importance of how they grouped the data to give the best analysis of their question.

As students deal with volumes of information during their research endeavors, they must develop analyzing skills that follow ethical guidelines. In this lesson, they will evaluate the reliability of information. The students will act as historians to authenticate information. They will be able to verbalize these social and ethical issues in a Socratic Seminar format.

This Social Studes lessons incorporates the use of emoljis as a way of informal communication. Students will create emojis in the spaces provided that communicate each statement. This is an opportunity for students to be creative while reviewing the material in Virginia Studies.
