Students compare experimental probability results with expected theoretical values. They study basic probability expected values for the flip of a fair coin and the roll of a fair die. They accumulate experimental data based on actual experiments with a coin and a die. They use a graphing calculator to simulate further experimental values. Finally, they hypothesize as to the results of even further simulated trials Full Review »

Students conduct a variety of probability experiments and solve them using tree diagrams and sample spaces to make predictions. They define key vocabulary terms, and observe how to diagram the theoretical probability of tossing a coin three times. Students also design and conduct a probability experiment. Full Review »

Students review important definitions relating to probability in the direct instruction portion of this lesson. In the guided practice section, they determine the probability of winning a coin toss using both theoretical and experimental answers. They make tree diagrams as they conduct the experiment and finally, review the vocabulary in independent student practice. Full Review »

Students design and conduct a simulation to study a problem and communicate the results of a multi-stage probability experiment. They define key vocabulary terms, then calculate the experimental probability of getting a four while rolling a die, then collect the data from all the students and complete a table with the results.

Students explore simple probability. Each student spins a spinner and records the result as they enter the room. The recorded results are used to calculate experimental probabilities. After the teacher explains how to calculate probability, students compare experimental probability to theoretical probability. Full Review »
