Students learn about probability through a LEGO MINDSTORMS NTX-based activity that simulates a game of "rock-paper-scissors." The LEGO robot mimics the outcome of random game scenarios in order to help students gain a better...

This lesson focuses on probability, a number between 0 and 1 which describes the likelihood of a certain event. A probability of 0 means that something is impossible; a probability of 1 means that something is certain.

This is an introduction to the study of probability. It tells the story of two of the greatest mathematicians, Blaise Pascal and Pierre de Fermat, who used coin tosses of heads or tails to determine who paid the bill. It led to the...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Watch a short video to review probability of compound events.

A set of questions on experimental and theoretical probabilities using coins and dice. Answers are accompanied by explanations.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Understand and define probability in terms of ratios.

In this section, students will explore different methods for determining the probability of complex events and conditional probabilities (such as unions, intersections, and complements).

Practice solving questions about the probabilities of compound events. Includes hints.

Find dependent probabilities like P(A | B) or P(B | A) for a variety of contexts. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

An extensive collection of links on statistics and probability can be found here! Discussions ranging from the basics of stats through more complex data analysis. Topics are broken down into sections for teachers, students, WebQuest...

For this lesson, students will sing the song There Was an Old Lady to learn about the topic of probability. Using a spinner with the lyrics from the song, students will play a game and record the number of times each topic from the song...

This site from the Northern Illinois University gives general background information on probability and also includes books and other websites that contain information on Probability.

This site gives an overview of probability, including example problems and a reading list. Exhaustive and detailed, this should help dramatically with students looking to study probability.

This lesson focuses on the probability and casino games such as Roulette which consists of a wheel with the numbers from 1 to 36 colored in red and black, as well as a green 0. A ball rolls around the outside and randomly lands on one of...

Practice calculating the probability of a given outcome in these exercises. Includes hints.

This lesson focuses on probability theory for predicting the outcome of flipping a coin, and then flipping it multiple times.

This section explores how to determine the sample space, or possible outcomes, for an event such as rolling dice. It also investigates how to determine the probability of different outcomes occurring for an activity such as flipping a...

Find a quick, concise explanation of probability. An example is given and clearly explained.

A guide to support parents as they work with their students in statistics and probability.

Learn how the genes inherited from two parents can be recombined in their offspring in this simulation activity. In addition, investigate the probabilities of passing on inherited genetic disorders.

Probability questions using permutations and combinations of objects. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Questions are randomly created to quiz students on probabilities associated with games. Hints and solutions are included.

This project shows how mathematical probability sometimes contradicts our intuition. Despite the fact that there are 365 days in a year, if you survey a random group of just 23 people there is a 50:50 chance that two of them will have...

You're playing Monopoly with a friend, and you've already got Park Place and you really, really want to get Boardwalk. If you're on Pacific Avenue, what are the chances you'll reach your goal? Here's an easy project that will show you...
