Texas Instruments: Analyzing Number Cube Sums
In this activity, students extend their understanding of theoretical probability and patterns. They use number cubes, to build awareness that a fraction and its decimal and percent representation on the calculator are "close," but not...

Texas Instruments: You're Probably Right, It's Wrong
In this activity, students perform a simulation to guess answers on a test and determine the experimental probability of passing the test. They then compare it with the theoretical probability.

Texas Instruments: Off to the Races
In this activity, students set weights for factors and observe how it affects the probability of a particular outcome. They set a weight for 3 factors for each of the six horses in a race. The three factors are weighted differently in...
