Probability Teacher Resources

Seventh graders solve 10 different problems that include determining the probability of various events described. First, they determine the probability that a marble drawn from a bad will be a specified color. Then, everyone determines a...

A word problem about probability which asks about two events occurring. Are the events independent of each other? Is this a compound events problem? How do you approach solving this word problem? The instructor explains just how to solve...

Probability prevails in this assignment as youngsters determine the probability of finding a blue pen in a cereal box when they can come in blue, green, yellow, or red. Learners set up a simulation to determine the outcome of compound...

Roll the dice with this activity and teach young mathematicians about probability. Record outcomes for rolling two number cubes in order to determine what is most likely to happen. Graph the data and investigate patterns in the results,...

Get your class on target with probability using an exciting resource. The interactive presents three square dartboards with different target areas, which are combinations of square units. Pupils determine the probabilities of randomly...

An interactive uses a candy store to involve the pupils in conditional probabilities. Learners determine probabilities as customers purchase different types of candies and the stock decreases.

Go ahead and take a chance. Given the probability of an event, scholars determine the frequency of the event out of a sample. The part of a review series for the General Certificate of Secondary Education math assessment asks classmates...

Your learners probably will enjoy practicing a variety of concepts as they work through these eight probability worksheets. The first few worksheets emphasize basic probability using cards, the months in a year, and the number...

Chances are good that one will learn a lot about probability. Scholars view an instructional video that covers the basics of probability. They review sample spaces, outcomes, and events, then look at the complement, union, and...

It is likely the class knows the answers. Pupils review the concepts from the short unit on probability. Learners watch as the video works several types of problems highlighting the concepts and then work through a series of problems to...

The car is behind door one — no wait, it is behind door three. An interactive allows learners to visualize the Monty Hall problem. Pupils work through the probabilities of choosing the car with their first pick. Next, they determine...

The probability is high that your class loves an informative video lesson. The lesson begins with a discussion of vocabulary related to probability and acceptable ways to present a probability. The presenter wraps up the instruction with...

Pupils learn how to use the rule of multiplication in genetics. The instructor shares some sample problems and shows viewers how to arrive at the correct answer. They then learn how to apply the rule of addition to genetics as well,...

Pupils determine the probability of one mayoral candidate winning given the other's chance. The interactive provides a circle graph to help visualize each candidate's percentages of winning.

It's not in the bag. An interactive provides the probability of picking a certain color marble from a bag after several marbles have been removed. Young mathematicians learn about dependent events from this resource.

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...

Students explore the concept of conditional probability and probability of simultaneous events. In this conditional probability and probability of simultaneous events lesson, students roll dice or use and applet to roll dice to determine...

Middle and high schoolers have a clarified definition of probability, they explore about outcomes in probability and how to calculate experimental probability. They use computers to learn about probability.

Introduce your class to a sure-fire method for calculating probabilities. The method is described alongside several examples, then put into practice with a series of probability questions for the class to solve. This would be a great...

Here is a classic activity used to introduce your class to the concept of probability and data collection. They will roll one die 30 times, then record and discuss the results. Great introduction, but too shallow to be considered a...

Seventh graders simulate probability experiments. Using a graphing calculator, 7th graders design, conduct, and draw conclusions from simulations or probability experiments. Students construct frequency tables and compare the...

In this probability worksheet, students read story problems and set up complement and conditional probability problems according to the multiplication rule. Three story problems are included on this worksheet.

Middle schoolers apply properties of probability to the real world. In this probability instructional activity, learners simulate the construction of empirical distribution. They collect and analyze data using central tendencies.
