Your statisticians examine the characteristics of conditional probability and the probability of simultaneous independent events. They perform computer activities to find probabilities for simple compound events. They examine the...

Students apply the concepts of an event occurring to playing a game. For this probability lesson,students differentiate between experimental and theoretical probability.

Want a leg up on the competition? Show classes how to use mathematics to their advantage when playing games. Learners calculate probabilities to determine a reasonable scoring strategy for a game. 

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...

Seventh graders compare experimental and theoretical probabilities.  In this comparing experimental and theoretical probabilities lesson, 7th graders discuss the theoretical probability of flipping a coin.  Students flip a coin...

Learners differentiate between theoretical and experimental probability. In this probability instructional activity, students create a puzzle and calculate the probability of an event occurring. They use problems dealing real life...

Students explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson, students use a applet that demonstrates chaos and probability of spread for a forest fire. Students also play applets about the Game of Life and Rabbits and Wolves,...

Sixth graders experiment with dice, playing cards, pennies and computer-generated simulations to calculate probability. They use compiled data to make predictions.

Students collect data and make predictions. In this probability lesson, students perform experiments calculating the chance of an event occurring. They draw conclusion based on their data.

Your learners will examine probability through experiments and dice games. Using a computer, your class will perform simple experiments to collect and analyze data to determine the probability of different experimental results. Students...

Students explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson, students perform various probability experiments including flipping a coin, picking m&m's out of a bag, and the birthday problem.

Students collect data and analyze the data using a graph. In this statistics lesson plan, students use combinations and theoretical and experimental probability to analyze their data. They observe a remote controlled robot as they...

Learners investigate probability through a game. In this data lesson plan, students use dice and predictions to explore how probability works.

Students define and differentiate between experimental and theoretical probability. In this statistic lesson, students play the game "Monty Hall" and use probability to come up with the best strategies to play the game.

Students investigate probability and the chance of an even happening. In this algebra lesson, students incorporate their knowledge of probability to solve problems and relate it to the real world. They learn to make decisions based on data.

Fourth graders examine how to determine the probabilities or likelihood of outcomes. They complete trials to determine probability while using different manipulatives. They determine how games can be made fair or unfair in this unit of...

Fifth graders collect and organize data from writing samples, use fractions and decimals to describe the experimental data, and use the experimental results to make predictions about the frequency of letter usage in the English language.
