Probability prevails in this assignment as youngsters determine the probability of finding a blue pen in a cereal box when they can come in blue, green, yellow, or red. Learners set up a simulation to determine the outcome of compound...

The penny arcade gets the statistics treatment in this fun probability investigation. A non-standard game of chance is described and then the class is set loose to find missing probabilities, determine common outcomes, and evaluate...

Rolling dice is the best way to show your learners how probability comes in to play. Although this lesson does not specify an activity, your mathematicians can try this probability with real dice to calculate their experimental...

Let the task burst your mind. Scholars estimate the frequency that both Starbursts in a pack are yellow out of 287 packs. They apply probability concepts to complete the sweet task.

What is the probability that two randomly seated people will be across from each other at a square table? Check learners' understanding of theoretical probability and compound events with this short assessment. A great opportunity to...

Pupils individually determine what they need to know about osteoporosis and how they will find that information. They share their thoughts with a partner before moving on to share with the class. The class arrives at a list of a set of...

Gain a little interest in functions with a real-life task. Young scholars analyze home loan data with a geometric sequence and series. They use the models to make predictions about the total loan payments at certain intervals in a...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Watch a short video to review probability of compound events.

In this activity, students explore situations that involve compound events with and without replacement. They use different ways to conceptualize theoretical probability.

In Spanish. This is an interactive activity which introduces the basic concepts of probability theory. This unit ends with a first look at the probability of compound events.

In this activity, students determine the probability of independent and compound events. They design simulations and collect data to explore streaking behavior.

Students can brush up on percentage skills with this lesson and calculate percentages using the "Percent Tricks method." For students to successfully use this method, they must have the ability to multiply and divide whole numbers.
