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 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...

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,...

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

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...

Students engage in the use of technology to investigate the mathematical concepts of probability and graphing. They use the skills of predicting an outcome to come up with reasonable possibilities. Students also practice using a...

Students practice addition facts, record data, and construct a bar graph. In this probability lesson, students participate in a board game in which bicycles move towards a finish line based on players completing addition problems. Dice...

Upper grade and middle schoolers make predictions, collect data, and interpret the data as it relates to the concept of probability. They work with a partner tossing marshmallows and recording if they land on their side or on their...

To foul or not to foul, that is the basketball question. High schoolers look at the probability that fouling out a player and allowing free throws yields a better outcome than allowing the original shot. The resource provides a...

Young mathematicians study probability. In this math lesson, learners calculate odds, and convert those into percentages of probability. Fractions are also used, making this lesson quite rich in some of the more difficult conversions...

Students explore the concept of probability. They calculate the probability of an event happening and graph their results. Students determine the probability of winning a sweepstakes. They construct a bar graph to represent all the...

Seventh graders investigate theoretical and experimental probability by conducting a series of experiments with multiple trials, comparing results, combining results and making conclusions. They express probabilities as fractions,...

Use this probability and graphing lesson to have your learners work with a partner to make a necklace out of Froot Loops. They record the cereal colors randomly chosen and strung, graph their data, then use a ratio formula to determine...

Choose to supplement your probability unit with this resource and you won't be disappointed with the outcome. Teach young mathematicians to organize information using tree diagrams and lists in order to determine the possible outcomes of...

Clean, but captivating, two online simulations demonstrate probability for middle schoolers. They can choose the number of coins and tosses and watch as the results pile up. They can choose from a variety of spinner types and the number...

Learners explore the concept of probability as it relates us to be able to make predictions about future events based upon our knowledge of past outcomes. They have an innate appreciation for probability. Students make a connection...
