Curated OER
Probability Plus
Students participate in a variety of activities to understand statistics. They collect and interpret data. Also students distinguish the difference between a population and a sample. They make inferences and create arguments using data.

Radon Alert: Understanding Odds
In this radon alert: understanding odds worksheet, 5th graders predict results of rolling dice and record data in a chart, then compare odds of events and occupations, then compare that with radon exposure.
Curated OER
Unexpected Answers
Students consider probability problems with unexpected and surprising answers.

Chance Dance Compositions
Fourth graders create dances through a randomly generated process (such as throwing a dice) and perform their dances for the class. Class work is based on Merce Cunningham's "Chance Dance" and includes walking, skipping hopping, and...

What Are the Risks?
Pupils use dice to determine the risk of being exposed to radon. They practice using new vocabulary related to probability and ratios. They make predictions about the results and record their observations.

Number Sense
Eighth graders participate in a lesson plan that is concerned with reviewing basic math concepts using the four operations. The activity is composed of a math game that is played by them.
Curated OER
The Fair Factor
Students participate in playing many games to determine if they are fair or not. They create their own game that is fair to play with their classmates.
Curated OER
Dominoes
Fourth graders solve a dominoes word problem, calculating all the possible outcomes for a sequence of events. They discuss the problem, apply counting strategies, create a tree diagram, and write an explanation of how they solved the...

Illustrative Mathematics: 7.sp.8 Tetrahedral Dice
Many games use dice which are six-sided and fair (meaning each face on the die is equally likely to land face up). Many games also use the sum of two dice rolled at the same time to determine movement of game pieces. However, not all...
