Quick Summary: Eleven-year-old Kemi Carter loves scientific facts, specifically probability. It's how she understands the world and her place in it. Kemi knows her odds of being born were 1 in 5.5 trillion and that the odds of her having the best family ever were even lower. Yet somehow, Kemi lucked out.

But everything Kemi thought she knew changes when she sees an asteroid hover in the sky, casting a purple haze over her world. Amplus-68 has an 84.7% chance of colliding with earth in four days, and with that collision, Kemi’s life as she knows it will end.

Quick Summary: Probably Pistachio is perfect for teaching probability to first, second, and third graders. Nothing goes right for Jack all day long. He can't find his favorite sneakers, he spills milk on his math homework, and worst of all, he gets tuna fish for lunch. Will things ever get better? Readers will learn how to tell when something is certain, more likely, less likely, or impossible as Jack keeps hoping his streak of bad luck will break.

Real-Life Scenarios

Role-Playing: Incorporate scenarios where students can predict outcomes. For example, if you have 10 red balls and 1 blue ball in a bag, students can predict which color they’re more likely to pull out. Role-playing gives students a concrete understanding of probability.

Use clear, concise language when explaining probability. For example, instead of using the word “probability,” say “chance” or “likelihood.” Simplify the explanation of key terms like certain, possible, impossible, more likely, less likely.

In grades 6–8, students improve their understanding of statistics and probability. In grade 6, they look more closely at how data is spread out, learning to talk about differences in data using terms like center, spread, and unusual points (like outliers). They also learn to describe shapes of data (whether it's even, skewed, or symmetrical). To help visualize this, they use charts like histograms and box plots. Students also follow four steps: asking a question about the data, collecting the data, analyzing it, and then making sense of what they found.

Introducing probability with unequal outcomes (spinners can be divided into uneven sections).

Fill a bag with different colored marbles (e.g., 3 blue, 2 red, and 1 green). Have students pull out one marble at a time and keep track of the outcomes, discussing the likelihood of drawing each color based on the number of marbles present.
