Probability Activity
Students differentiate between theoretical and experimental probability. For this probability lesson, students create a puzzle and calculate the probability of an event occurring. They use problems dealing real life scenarios.
Curated OER
Grade 5: Alphabet Frequency
Fifth graders collect and organize data from writing samples, use fractions and decimals to describe the experimental data, and use the experimental results to make predictions about the frequency of letter usage in the English language.
Curated OER
Lucky Number
Students use data from simulations to make theoretical generalizations. They discuss possible relationships between several given events and gain understanding about their own mathematical intuition about likelihood.
Curated OER
Budgeting - The Basics, Part 1
Students investigate personal budgets and discuss how to make monetary decisions. They work in small groups to make money decisions for their classrooms or a playground, and present their decisions to the whole class.
Curated OER
Richard's Dice
Students problem solve logic problems. They complete a worksheet using dice as a manipulative. They decide on a problem solving strategy, solve the problem, and write up the solution.

Non-Random Variables: NBA Championship
Pupils demonstrate probability distribution of non-random variables. Students collect data on the NBA Championships. They record the data and compute subsets and permutations.
Curated OER
Theoretically Speaking
Students define probability. They determine outcome from a given situation based on simple probability. Students create experimental data using a coin and a number cube. They write how theoretical and experimental probability are different.
