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 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 »
