This learning progression is a focused on statistics and probability in a 7th grade middle school mathematics classroom. There are many ways probabilities can be taught, this progression will use models and data collection. There are three levels of functions that are taught at the high school level: Compare probabilities from a model to observed frequencies, Develop a uniform probability model by assigned equal probability to all outcomes and use the model to determine probability events, and Develop a probability model by observing frequencies in data generated from a chance process. Probabilities describe the extent to which something is probable; the likelihood of something happening or being the case. In the progression of Interpreting Statistics and Probability students learn how to understand and develop probability events, how to observe and  interpret collected data, and formulating questions, designing studies, and collecting data about a population through random sampling allow us to make inferences and compare data.
