 * On Monday December 12 we** **will be exploring Chapter 5 - Probability.**


 * What is probability?**


 * How can we learn about probability?**


 * Here are some questions to consider:**


 * 1. When you flip a Canadian Penny, what is the probability (or the chance) that it will land with the maple leaf facing up?**
 * 2. When you roll a six-sided die, number 1 through 6, what is the probability (or the chance) that it will land on 8?**
 * 3. You have a bag of 8 red markers. What is the probability (or the chance) you will pull out a red marker?**
 * 4. You spin a spinner of 4 equal sections marked chocolate, fruit, frozen yogurt, and ice cream. What is the probability (or the chance) it will land on fruit.**
 * 5. A bag contains the letter A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H. What is the probability (or the chance) that you will pull out an H?**
 * 6. A bag has 3 silver marbles and 1 gold marble. What is the probability (or the chance) that you will pull out a gold marble?**
