This lesson introduces the student to the concept of probability. Students will explore the meaning of theoretical and experimental probability by viewing interactive websites. A lab activity will be performed using cooperative learning...

Apply division to determine the probability of outcomes with a racing game.

This site is a virtual discussion between a teacher and student about probability and outcome. The virtual teacher poses wonderful questions for the students to think about. The virtual students then respond to the inquiries.

In this activity, students perform a simulation to guess answers on a test and determine the experimental probability of passing the test. They then compare it with the theoretical probability.

The Shodor Education Foundation provides this lesson plan to introduce middle schoolers to the concepts of probability. Students learn about the definition of, outcomes in, and calculations of experimental probability. Middle schoolers...

This lesson plan sets the ground work for an introduction to and then exploring the concepts that are the foundation for probability. Lots of resources are available for teachers and learners at this website.

Given a problem situation, students will use experimental data or theoretical probability to make predictions and determine solutions to situations involving independent events.

Use this tool to create a spinner to examine experimental and theoretical outcomes.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson explores a little probability in the world of the card game Blackjack. While gambling is not mentioned or used in the lesson, students do find the probability of attaining a...

This lesson teaches young scholars about theoretical and experimental probability through a series of work stations.

Students use probability to determine how likely it is for each tree in a small simulated forest to catch on fire.

Given an event to simulate, the student will use theoretical probabilities and experimental results to make predictions and decisions.

Sixth graders will be able to see the relationship between theoretical probability and experimental probability by computing both at the same time.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart takes the student through activities regarding theoretical and experimental probability and expressing the probability in mathematical terms.

In this activity, students will simulate a popular game, find experimental probabilities, and then compare those probabilities to the corresponding theoretical probabilities.

Practice predicting the number of times a certain event will happen. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

A tree diagram is a helpful tool for determining theoretical or mathematical probabilities. Toss a coin and watch as branches represent a toss of either head or tails.

Learners learn about probability by predicting the outcome of planned experiments and playing racing games.
