1. Standard At A Glance

Standard: MATH.12.S-MD.B.5

Short description: Weigh the possible outcomes of a decision by assigning probabilities to payoff values and finding expected values; find the expected payoff for a game of chance, and evaluate and compare strategies on the basis of expected values.

2. Typical Indicators

  • Student demonstrates this skill during core instruction tasks.
  • Student can transfer the skill to related assignments with reduced prompting.
  • Student performance shows improving consistency over time.

3. Warning Signs

  • Student performance remains inconsistent across contexts.
  • Student has persistent errors tied to prerequisite skills.
  • Student requires sustained intensive prompting to complete aligned tasks.

4. Escalating Accommodations

Tier 1

Embed explicit modeling and practice in daily core instruction.

Tier 2

Use targeted small-group instruction with structured guided practice.

Tier 3

Provide intensive individualized support with frequent progress checks.

5. Modifications

  • Diverse learners: include language objectives, visuals, and scaffolded response options.
  • Disabled learners: provide adapted materials, pacing, and assistive supports.

6. IEP Considerations (If Student Has a Disability)

  • Align this standard to present levels and measurable annual goals.
  • Document accommodations, specially designed instruction, and service frequency.
  • Use regular progress-monitoring checks linked to this standard.
  • Coordinate implementation across general/special education and family communication.
  • Adjust supports based on data at scheduled IEP review intervals.

7. Cross-Curricular Integration

Integrate into modeling tasks, statistical analysis, and real-world problem-solving.
