Probability of a Boy

Upper graders examine the concept of probability. They collect data and create a bar graph. They must interpret the data as well. Everyone engages in hands-on games and activities which lead them to predict possible outcomes for a...

In this math worksheet, students perform 2 math investigations pertaining to probability--flipping pennies and rolling dice. Students record on the worksheet the results of each attempt, then graph the results. Note: The directions...

Exactly how fair are the board games children grow up playing? Young mathematicians investigate this questions as they work their way through this five-lesson series on basic probability. 

Give young mathematicians a chance to demonstrate their understanding of basic probability with this series of worksheets. Presented with different situations involving dice and decks of cards, students must correctly determine the...

Here are a few well-thought-out discussion questions intended to accompany a probability activity. Learners consider equal chance outcomes under given situations, they investigate those outcomes by tossing a coin 30 times. They analyze...

Enhance your next lesson on probability with a text rich presentation intended to teach the language associated with probability. The use of decimals, fractions, and percents are discussed as well are the terms, likely, unlikely, and...

A presentation demonstrates the basics of probability. Learners consider a variety of scenarios with dice, as well as picking certain-colored balls out of a bag in order to become familiar with this concept. The PowerPoint is brief, but...

Students explore probability. In this probability lesson, students look at videos and websites where they discover probability facts that can be used in situations. They determine the probability of different events. 

Students examine mathematicians' notion of fairness in games of chance. They work in pairs to perform three different experiments using macaroni and paper bags. They record their results on charts and compare their data.

Students examine the relationship between probability and geometry to solve problems. For this geometry and probability lesson, students investigate the effect of changing percentages on a spinner to the probability of landing on a...
