Seventh graders determine the fairness of various games.  In this determining the fairness of various games lesson, 7th graders use spinners, dice, and rock,paper, scissors to play various chance games.  Students determine if...

Sixth graders experiment with dice, playing cards, pennies and computer-generated simulations to calculate probability. They use compiled data to make predictions.

In this math review worksheet, 3rd graders answer multiple choice questions about probability, bar graphs, pictographs, and more. Students complete 25 multiple choice questions.

In this statistics and probability worksheet, students identify 10 events as independent or dependent. Eight of these are short answer problems. Two problems are multiple choice, presenting the students with four events. Students...

In this probability worksheet, students learn how to make a tree diagram to determine the possible outcomes in a probability situation. They then answer 4 probability questions.

Students calculate the chance of an event occurring. For this statistics lesson, students use combination and permutation to calculate the probability of an event occurring. They differentiate between theoretical and experimental...

In this single and compound event worksheet, students read given statements and determine the probability of each event. Statements include data dealing with cards in a deck, coins and dice. Students solve both simple and compound...

In this tree diagrams worksheet, learners solve and complete 10 different problems that include creating tree diagrams. First, they toss a coin and roll a die simultaneously to determine the outcomes with a tree diagram. Then, students...

Young scholars investigate probability and the chance of an even happening. In this algebra instructional activity, students incorporate their knowledge of probability to solve problems and relate it to the real world. They learn to make...

Students explore the concept of probability.  For this probability lesson, students use area to determine probability.  Students use charts and spinners to help determine the probability of events such as flipping a coin or...

Fourth graders, in pairs, receive three different types of coin bags. They pick coins out of the bag and tally what was picked fifteen times. They do it with all three bags for three separate tallies.

Students explore forestry. They discuss creating fire breaks to control forest fires. Students create models to determine the best way to manage forest fires. They discuss current techniques of forest management.

Students explore and complete a variety of activities demonstration probability. They make observations about the results of the activities. Students complete and discuss conditional probability. Also, students draw conclusions about...

In this probability worksheet, learners use math models and the problem solving strategy of understand, plan, solve, and look back to help them complete the two probability questions.

Though the website does not seem to have the mentioned video, a reding and lottery style games simulate the chances of finding intelligent life somewhere other than Earth. Without the video, this lesson is short, but it can be a useful...

Run, gingerbread men! During the board game, four gingerbread men race to discover which one finishes first. Scholars take note of the game's results using a tally chart and bar graph for all to observe the frequency of the winning...

Second graders collect data by spinning two spinners and creating sums, organize the data, and make conclusions from the data. Each students makes a spinner. They spin and record the number of the section each time. Students work in...

Students consider probability problems with unexpected and surprising answers.

Students use data from simulations to make theoretical generalizations. They discuss possible relationships between several given events and gain understanding about their own mathematical intuition about likelihood.

n a class discussion Students identify events or situations as being likely to occur or unlikely to occur. Then, they work in pairs to generate likely and unlikely statements to share with the class.

Pupils investigate the traditions and history around Thanksgiving. They divide into groups and research specific aspects of the holiday. Students then share their findings with the rest of the class. They also complete crafts, interview...

Students read and discuss the bycatch of the sea and the economic impact of taking bycatch away. In this bycatch lesson plan, students discuss the rights of fisherman and observe pictures of sea animals.

In this problem-solving worksheet, learners learn how to make a prediction in problem-solving by using the 4 steps: understand, plan, solve and look back. They then use this problem-solving skill to answer 4 questions.

This lesson introduces students to experimental and theoretical probability using spinners and trials with pennies. Students also research careers that involve probability, and create a video presentation. It provides an assessment and...
