Area Model

Learning Objective: Students will create and use area models to determine probability.

Language Objective: Students will express their reasoning in written form.

Area model is another model to display Theoretical Probability.

In Bucket 1 are two green cubes and one red cube. In Bucket 2, there is a red, a blue, a green, and a yellow cube. Create an area model.

Use the area model you drew to find the following probabilities:

P(RR) = P(RB) = P(RG) =

P(RY) = P(GR) = P(GB)=

P(GG)= P(GY) = P(YY) =

Samantha is flipping a coin and then spinning a spinner with the colors red, blue, green and yellow. What is the theoretical probability that she will flip heads and then spin a blue or a green on the spinner?

In a recent survey, 30% of children wanted to buy IPad in the last six months. Meanwhile, 65% of children say that they dislike vegetables. What is the probability that a child selected at random wants to buy an IPad and dislike vegetables?
