Connect ratios, probability, and combination outcomes with a challenging activity idea. It guides your learners through probability of an event as fractions or ratios, on a number line, and with correct vocabulary. The class will be...

Here is a turnkey instructional activity that walks young statisticians through the development and uses of conditional probability. From dice games to surveys, Venn diagrams to frequency tables, the class learns how a given can...

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

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...

Students investigate the area of squares and circles. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the area and probability of simple events. They work on a laptop using Safari.

Learners explore simple probability. Each student spins a spinner and records the result as they enter the room. The recorded results are used to calculate experimental probabilities. After the teacher explains how to calculate...

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.

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...

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

Upper elementary and middle schoolers work with the concept of probability. They are introduced to the concept of chaos. Learners graph and analyze using a line plot, work with mean, and are introduced to the concept of variance.

Students demonstrate how to find the probability of events. In this probability lesson, students use colored tiles in a paper bag and randomly select one at a time to record the probability.

Pupils work together to develop ratios from a deck of cards. They put the cards into different combinations and discuss the ratio. Everyone calculates probability from one deck of cards.

Learners apply their understanding of luck to a probability experiment. They play a game of Pass the Pigs to determine the probability of a specific outcome. Using analysis for their data, pupils declare the measures of center, dot...

Scholars create and perform experiments attempting to answer Buffon's Coin problem. They discover the relationships between geometry and probability, empirical and theoretical probabilities, and area of a circle and square.

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...

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

Students use playing cards to examine probability. In this probability lesson, students work in groups with a deck of cards and predict if the next card they lay down will be high or low. Students fill out a graphic organizer with their...

Second graders experiment with probability. In this probability lesson, 2nd graders pick colored beans from a bag to find the chance of getting different colors. They make fair and unfair spinners and record the data after spinning...

Upper graders examine the concept of probability. They collect data and create a bar graph. They must interpret the data as well. Everyone engages in hands-on games and activities which lead them to predict possible outcomes for a...

Students do an experiment with probability. For this probability lesson, they listen to part of the book G is for Googol: A Math Alphabet Book by David M. Schwartz. They complete 3 probability experiments and check to see how close...

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

Students explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson plan, students find the probability of certain situations including spinning a spinner, drawing marbles from a bag, and rolling a dice.

Students calculate mean, median, range, mode and probability. Then, working in teams, they use data from their workplace to compute values for these terms. Finally the class explores the term "probability" using a die.
