Sixth graders will be able to see the relationship between theoretical probability and experimental probability by computing both at the same time.

At the end of this lesson, students will be able to calculate probability for real-life situations.

The purpose of this lesson plan is to begin the process of helping students to learn the basic principles of probability. The students will also collect data, interpret data, and determine the fairness of the game rock, paper,...

The unit introduces the topic of probability and then students work in groups to find the odds of winning a game they design. The students learn how to summarize financial projections and appreciate the role of probability in real world...

This lesson introduces the student to the concept of probability. Students will explore the meaning of theoretical and experimental probability by viewing interactive websites. A lab activity will be performed using cooperative learning...

This is a beginning lesson on the concept of probability. Through a series of informal comparisons, the student will explore the chances of various outcomes of an event. The student will use vocabulary associated with probability.This...

This lesson is adapted from a Connected Mathematics Unit, How Likely is It? This investigation introduces biology as a source of applications for probability. In this lesson, Curling your Tongue, students determine how many students in...

The lesson will explore counting, sorting, and graphing skills. The lesson provides students an exciting and fun way of exploring and internalizing graphing, sorting, and counting skills. Realistically, the students will discover what...

This is a great math game for students to gain an understanding of experimental probability.

Who's the REAL meat eater here? Let's do some math and find out!

The students will engage in the process of statistical data comparing data using tables and scatterplots. The students will compare data using measures of center (mean and median) and measures of spread (range). This lesson plan can be...

This is an activity that may be instructive when trying to learn the concept of "odds" and how they are found.

Alyssa sees a lightning bolt in the sky and counts four seconds until she hears the thunder. Aligns with 7.RP.A.

Third graders practice skills of addition, subtraction, word problems and graphing and develop their own theories about why meat consumption is so different across the world.
