Agent Ozzie is the key keeper for the box, but has a case of the“Saturdays” and has gone missing from duty thinking he has the day o . The Odd Squad must 􀀞nd him by looking at the pattern of his usual Saturday activities, clues he is posting to his OddTube channel, and then using that information to 􀀞gure the probability of where they might 􀀞nd him. Students will be able to recognize and understand basic probability words such as likely, unlikely, probably, certain, chance, and others.  \nThis lesson will help students to:  \n1. Recognize and understand basic probability vocabulary including words and phrases such as likely, unlikely, chance, probably, certain, more likely, less likely, and impossible.  \n2. Understand how experience and data help us make predictions.  \n3. Explore probability and prediction as they relate to a simple spinner.  \nMedia Resources  \n• ODD SQUAD media clip from“Probability Cartoons”  \nMaterials  \n Blank paper, or the ODD SQUAD“Probability Cartoons” printable (one per student)  \n Pencils or pens  \n Ruler  \n[Find more ODD SQUAD games and activities at pbslearningmedia.org](Find more ODD SQUAD games and activities at pbslearningmedia.org)  \nODD SQUAD © 2024, The Fred Rogers Company.

Will it rain or not?” Discuss answers and focus on the idea that the weathercaster “predicts” the “chances” of something happening.  \nPredicting weather is an example of probability.  \nExplain that probability is an area of math that involves how likely or unlikely something is to happen. This is sometimes called “chance.” It’s prediction, but prediction based on data, knowledge, and history. Probability uses numbers (like a 1 in 5 chance or 50% chance) but also vocabulary such as “likely” or “certain.” Ask students to help you generate a list of probability words and phrases they have heard.  \nWhen a student shares a word or phrase, ask them to use it in a sentence as that will help everyone understand what it means. For example, someone might respond,“Unlikely. It is unlikely to snow in July in our town.” This lets you know that unlikely means it’s probably not going to happen. But it’s not impossible.  \nWrite these on the board. Common student responses may include:  \nProbably Sometimes All the time Every time About half the time A good chance Little chance No chance  \nNever  \nAlways  \nLikely Unlikely Very likely Most likely Impossible Certain 50/50 Always De􀀞nite  \nDe􀀞nitely  \n[Find more ODD SQUAD games and activities at pbslearningmedia.org](Find more ODD SQUAD games and activities at pbslearningmedia.org)  \nODD SQUAD © 2024, The Fred Rogers Company.

Helping children prepare for watching a video is simple.  \nBefore Viewing  \nMake viewing even more engaging by asking children to look for something speci􀀞c while they watch the video. Before viewing encourage students to listen for and think about:  \n What probability words do you hear in the video?  \n What numbers help the agents make a prediction? What are the numbers telling about?  \nAfter Viewing  \nAfter viewing take a few minutes for children to recall, connect, and apply what they saw in the ODD SQUAD episode.
