Curated OER

Alex, Mel, and Chelsea Play a Game

For Teachers 9th - 12th Standards
This short probability question may look simple at first, but it is actually quite complex! Learners must understand independent events in context and must take into account several different scenarios. Use as an individual assignment...

Texas Instruments: You're Probably Right, It's Wrong

For Teachers 6th - 8th Standards
In this activity, students perform a simulation to guess answers on a test and determine the experimental probability of passing the test. They then compare it with the theoretical probability.

Texas Instruments: Will Girls and Boys Be Equal?

For Teachers 6th - 8th Standards
Students explore concepts in probability and statistics. In this activity, they model a situation to find experimental probability and construct a box-and-whisker plot. They compare the experimental and theoretical probabilities for the...

Texas Instruments: Off to the Races

For Teachers 9th - 10th
In this activity, students set weights for factors and observe how it affects the probability of a particular outcome. They set a weight for 3 factors for each of the six horses in a race. The three factors are weighted differently in...

Texas Instruments: Analyzing Number Cube Sums

For Teachers 6th - 8th
In this activity, students extend their understanding of theoretical probability and patterns. They use number cubes, to build awareness that a fraction and its decimal and percent representation on the calculator are "close," but not...

Texas Instruments: Simple Probability

For Teachers 9th - 10th Standards
This set contains statistics questions regarding probability as a relative frequency. The student will recognize event pairs: complementary events, mutually exclusive events, and independent events, and use them in probability calculations.
