Spinner
Go round and round to compare theoretical and experimental probabilities. Learners set the number of sectors and the number of spins for a spinner. Then, a table displays the experimental and theoretical probabilities of the spinner for...

Two Colors Applet
Find the box with two green balls. The applet uses six balls, three green and three red, and hides them in three boxes. Pupils choose a box and click on it to reveal the color of balls inside. Using the chosen box, the simulation keeps...

Racing Game with One Die
Pupils roll a die to figure out which car advances on a race track. They determine the rules for each car moving forward and, given the statistics of the winner, compare if it matches their predictions.

Experimental Probability
Spin into a dicey experiment. Pupils use a spinner or a pair of dice to determine the experimental probabilities of each outcome. The interactive allows for either, one, five, or ten consecutive experiments. Using the applet, learners...

Mathigon: Probability and Discrete Math: What Are Probabilities
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.

Ck 12: Algebra Ii: 5.2 Probability
In this section, students will explore different methods for determining the probability of complex events and conditional probabilities (such as unions, intersections, and complements).
CK-12 Foundation
Ck 12: Algebra Ii: 5.1 Sample Spaces and Probability
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...
