Second graders use a hands-on activity and a data chart to explain the certainty, probability, or impossibility of drawing a particular color of marble from a bag. This lesson plan comes with an excellent website, and many good...

Class members are introduced to probability using terms such as impossible, unlikely, likely, and certain. Numbers between zero and one are associated with the descriptions of probability. Pupils find the likelihood of chance experiments...

Second graders explore probability. In this math lesson plan, 2nd graders discuss the possibility of choosing a certain colored tile from a bag. Students perform experiments and describe the outcomes as certain, possible, unlikely and...

Ninth graders divide in pairs 3 cards with the words possible, impossible and certain on them. Ask questions of the class and get the students to hold up the word that describes the event (for example) Tomorrow it will snow. You have...

Students evaluate if an event is certain, probable, or impossible. They design and create a spinner to be used in a game which demonstrates the possible outcome of an event.

Take a chance with an activity sure to improve your class's skills. An introductory lesson focuses on probability and chance. It shows how probability is always a value between zero and one, i.e., the probability of an event is always...

Is it possible to have a waste-less lunch? Can your class become leaders in conservation? Discuss the importance of reducing waste during lunch time with a fun lesson that can be extended to everyday practices. First the class examines...

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.

Students develop a list of possible outcomes as a method of finding probability related to a pizza statistics problems. They read the problems together as a class, brainstorm ways to solve the problem, and in partners solve the pizza...

Students explore the concept of probability.  In this probability lesson, students roll a six-sided number cube and record the frequency of each outcome.  Students graph their data using a frequency chart and keep tally marks...

 Students explore the likelihood of events.  In this logical thinking lesson, 3rd graders are given several scenarios and determine whether the possibility of the described event actually happening is likely, unlikely, or...

First graders use probability terminology to describe all possible outcomes of certain events. In this probability lesson, 1st graders use counters to create a pretend "purse" of objects. Students create their own probability...

Students predict, using a fraction or a ratio, the possibility of an event happening and place that fraction or ratio on a Likelihood Line. In Part Two of the lesson, they conduct an experiment to determine theoretical and experimental...

For this probability worksheet, 11th graders review basic probability concepts such as chance, probability lines, and possible outcomes. There are 6 problems on here.

Eighth graders investigate the concepts of probability while performing data analysis. They apply statistical methods in order to measure or predict some possible outcomes. The information is collected and graphed, 8th graders analyze...

After completing an assessment task where they express numbers as the difference of squares (i.e., 9 = 5^2 – 4^2), class members note any patterns that they see in the problems.

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...

Take a chance on an informative resource. Scholars conduct probability experiments involving coins and number cubes to generate data. Compiling class data helps connect experimental probability to theoretical probability.

By examining a set of dice roll data, statisticians determine the probability of different sums occurring. They visit an interactive website and determine how many different vacation outfits Bobbie Bear will have based on the colored...

Learners study, record, and predict weather. They work in groups to create a weather word wall, research and make a barometer, and create a video about weather. They use the Internet to research weather.

Middle school math whizzes view a PowerPoint tutorial on tree diagrams. Using "Anthonio's Pizza Palace," an interactive activity involving the selection of pizza toppings, they use Pascal's triangle as a tree diagram. This is an...

Second graders gather and graph data.  In this graphing lesson plan, 2nd graders collect data and graph this information using tally charts, bar graphs, pictographs, or tables. They make predictions about the outcomes.

Tenth graders pretend to set up an ice cream shop in a make believe town of shapes.  In this geometry activity, 10th graders work together to put up an ice cream stand in an ideal location and solve for the minimum given the shapes.

Learners investigate basic concepts of chance and probability. They make a number cube to predict which number might be rolled the most often out of 20 consecutive rolls and tally the results. Number cube template included.
