Classes explore different scenarios using manipulatives to learn about the difference between independent and dependent probability. Learners experiment with colored chips to model the two types of probabilities. To test their...

In the first installment of a 21-part module, scholars build on previous understandings of probability to develop the multiplication rule for independent and dependent events. They use the rule to solve contextual problems.

How likely is it that the school cafeteria will serve chicken tomorrow? Discover the concept of probability with the roll of the dice. Pupils evaluate the liklihood of several statments about everyday life. Then, a mathematical...

Upper elementary and middle schoolers explore the concept of probability. For this probability lesson, pupils flip coins and draw chips out of a bag to determine the likelihood of a particular outcome. They perform the experiments with...

Exactly how fair are the board games children grow up playing? Young mathematicians investigate this questions as they work their way through this five-lesson series on basic probability. 

Statisticians analyze different samples to find independent and dependent events. In this probability lesson, pupils predict the outcome and then calculate the real outcome. They create a tree diagram to help predict the probability of...

Learners investigate why theoretical probability doesn't always match reality. The activity involves using Python 2.7 (or Sage) to set up a Bernoulli Trial. It also involves setting up a spreadsheet to simulate the Birthday Paradox....

You hit the jackpot with a fun lesson! Peak your pupils' interest with a lesson calculating the probability of poker hands. A video shows the different types of possible hands when given a specific hand and one card to draw. 

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

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 will work in teams of 2 to read and discuss a case study. In this probability lesson, students will learn the formula for finding the probability of two events occurring together. Students will learn the meaning of independent...

Students investigate ratios and percents. In this algebra lesson, students explore the probability of an event occurring. They convert between ratios and percents as they solve the odds.

Young scholars calculate the probability of an event occurring. In this probability lesson, students differentiate between independent, dependent or compound events. They find the range of the data.

Learners predict the-outcome of an event. In this algebra lesson plan, students compare and contrast the probability of an event occurring. They calculate the odds of a simple event and make estimation.

Students draw colored blocks from a bag and determine the probability of each color being drawn. Then they draw blocks from another bag in which the numbers of each color are unknown. They guess the number of each color included in the...

Young scholars list all the outcomes for single events, and for two successive events in a systematic way. When dealing with a combination of two experiments, they identify all the outcomes, using diagrammatic, tabular or other forms...

Burgers and salads and sodas, oh my! Scholars use a menu to investigate the Fundamental Counting Principle. They create tree diagrams to illustrate the number of possible choices for each given scenario.

Learners decide when to use computation and permutation to solve problems. In this algebra lesson, students apply the correct method to solve complex set of events. They differentiate between dependent and independent events.

Students analyze the causes of cancer from a genetic standpoint. They explain the increase in cancer with age and create a hypothesis for cancer development. They use the laws of probability as well.

Learners disprove evolution. In this science lesson plan, students disprove evolution by attempting to prove that creation is the way it all began. They use the improbability that evolution could exist and expose its fallacies, frauds...

Get your class out in the environment for hands on math activities. For this wetlands lesson, learners transplant native plants, calculate how much soil is needed, and perform math activities based on this experience. They then make...

Students investigate the world of bees and describe their characteristics. by identifying the bees' parts, they demonstrate how these parts function. In the lab, students dissect bees and view the various parts under microscopes. ...
