Pondering Probability

Probability is one of the major shifts in the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. In previous years, probability concepts have started in early elementary and developed in complexity through the years. The foundational probability concepts now reside in Grade 7. This calls for another filter adjustment in the classroom.
