Roll the dice with this multimedia math lesson on probability. After first viewing a series of three short videos explaining probability, independent events, and dependent events, young mathematicians complete a set...

Here is a very clever way of teaching young mathematicians the concept of probability. A spinner is made that has two outcomes, yes and no. A chart is made that has two columns that are labeled Correct and Incorrect. The teacher asks a...

In this statistics and probability worksheet, young statisticians solve and complete 13 different problems related to probability, percentages, and normal distributions. They consider data models, assumptions about the models, and find...

In this probability instructional activity, learners find the experimental probability of given events. This one-page instructional activity contains eleven problems.

Statistically, practicing this packet completely helps young mathematicians do well on the test. The packet is adaptable to many grade levels as it includes basic probability and goes up to data analysis with mean, median, and...

Probability, especially conditional probability, can be a slippery concept for young statisticians.  Statements that seem self-evident on the surface often require a daunting amount of calculations to explicate, or turn out to be...

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...

In this math/nutrition lesson, the nutritional value of 3 snack foods is recorded on a data chart and represented on a bar graph. Students analyze and compare information, construct data charts and related bar graphs, and draw...

Enhance your next lesson on probability with a text rich presentation intended to teach the language associated with probability. The use of decimals, fractions, and percents are discussed as well are the terms, likely, unlikely, and...

Using real life examples, learners discuss probability and ratios. They begin by answering a set of questions, and then participate in a probability activity involving a bag of colored cubes.

In this statistics worksheet, young scholars model probabilities by using colored cubes to solve word problems. There are 4 questions to solve.

Reinforce the concept of probability with a series of lessons highlighting the idea of likelihood, probability formulas, relative frequency, outcomes, and event predictions. The collection is made up of four lessons offering informative...

Bring the concept of conditional probability alive by allowing your classes to explore different probability scenarios. Many tasks have multiple solutions that encourage students to continue exploring their problems even after a solution...

Students explore probability. In this probability lesson, students look at videos and websites where they discover probability facts that can be used in situations. They determine the probability of different events. 

Young scholars estimate and then count the number of each color of M&M's in their bag. In this mathematics instructional activity, students find the experimental probability of selecting each color from the bag. Young scholars create...

Statisticians play a game of Bingo to discover the meaning of probability. They are given 12 markers to distribute across the numbers 1-12 on their playing mat. As a pair of dice is rolled, markers are removed from the playing mat. The...

Middle schoolers write a probability fraction based on the number of favorable outcomes and the number of total outcomes. For this math lesson, learners come up with their fractions based on a bag of candy that has six Three Musketeers,...

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...

Students practice calculating probability, see how geometry can help solve probability problems and explore platonic solids.

In this probability worksheet, students solve and complete 15 different problems that include probability and outcome. First, they find the probability of drawing each of the following listed. Then, students determine the outcome of a...

In this statistics and probability learning exercise, students determine the probability of a series of dependent and independent events occurring.  The one page learning exercise contains a combination of ten multiple choice and...

In this sequences and probability activity, students solve 3 problems by writing out all the possibilities for the solution and they use probability to find their answers. They determine the probability of solar flares happening on a...

Students explore the concept of probability.  In this probability lesson, students create a video, poster, or podcast explaining what experiments, sample space, events, and outcomes are in relation to probability.  Students...

For this probability worksheet, students use conditional probability to solve for the probability of an event occurring in a finite sample space.  The one page worksheet contains five multiple choice problems.  Answers are...
