Better Lesson: Simulations Can You Design an Experiment?
Seventh graders will be able to design and conduct their own simulation to determine the probability of an event.
Illustrative Mathematics
Illustrative Mathematics: 7.sp Rolling Twice
A fair six-sided die is rolled twice. What is the theoretical probability that the first number that comes up is greater than or equal to the second number? Aligns with 7.SP.C.8.

Shodor Interactivate: Marbles
Learners learn about sampling with and without replacement by simulating marbles being drawn out of a bag. Settings can be altered to explore conditional probability.
Shodor Education Foundation
Shodor Interactivate: Two Colors
Students investigate conditional probability. This activity allows the user to simulate pulling red and green balls out of boxes. Teacher resources are included.
