Learners will extend their understanding of probability by continuing to conduct experiments, this time with four-colored spinners. They will compare experimental results to expected results by first conducting an experiment, then...

Students explore the probabilities of simple events, such as rolling a dice, in this interactive web lesson.

Find expected value based on calculated probabilities. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

In this section, students will explore different methods for determining the probability of complex events and conditional probabilities (such as unions, intersections, and complements).

Learn how probability is used to analyze fairness and decisions.

Learn how to calculate the conditional probabilities of events based on information in a table.

For this lesson, students will sing the song There Was an Old Lady to learn about the topic of probability. Using a spinner with the lyrics from the song, students will play a game and record the number of times each topic from the song...

In this video, explore the odds of winning the Powerball lottery and learn what few people realize about their chances of winning: they are miniscule. In the accompanying classroom activity, students create simple lottery models to help...

A description of the standard, analyze decisions and strategies using probability concepts, in addition to sample questions and aligned resources.

This lesson will allow the student to experience 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 lesson plan was...

The mathematics resource investigates basic probability. Students learn about the topic through notes and examples. The tutorial consists of practice exercises to check for comprehension of the concept.

The probability resource investigates compound events. Students learn about the topic through notes and examples. The tutorial consists of practice exercises to check for comprehension of the concept.

The lesson examines probability. Learners learn about simulations, theoretical probability, and geometric probability. Definitions, formulas, examples, and a quiz are included.

This lesson focuses on the Monty Hall game where you select one of three doors. It explains your odds based on your choices.

This task assesses a student's ability to use the addition rule to compute a probability and to interpret a probability in context of a coffee shop. Aligns with S-CP.B.7.

Presents the steps to follow in designing a study in statistics and explains what makes a good statistical question.

This resource defines a complement, then explains how to find the probability of the complement of an event. The examples are easy to follow.

The concept of modeling sequences of random events using states and transitions between states became to known as Markov Chains. Introduction to Markov chains. Created by Brit Cruise.

Great ideas for "100th Day" activities. Most of these would be a good challenge for upper elementary school students if you want to include them in your 100th Day celebration. Activities include counting, measuring, weighing, sorting,...

We've all probably heard a bit of gossip, a story about someone we know that might embarrass him. Despite whether the information is true or not, the fact that it is being passed on to other people could be harmful for him. It may be fun...

The "I don't want to do homework blues" have probably hit you before. Homework is important, we all know this, but sometimes it is a struggle to get it finished. If you have problems doing your homework and want help, or if you want to...

You have probably stumbled over your words before. Sometimes that happens because you're nervous, like if you're giving a class presentation or talking in front of people you don't know very well. Have you noticed anyone who stumbles or...

A closer look at the Seated Scribe: Painted in bright colors and gazing expressively at the visitor, the Seated Scribe is one of the most famous statues in the Department of Egyptian Antiquities. Egyptologists think it is probably the...
