This lesson demonstrates how sampling can help predict outcomes.

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

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Simulate real-life situations with an experiment and find the experimental probability of a specific event.

Site provides extensive assistance in preparing 4th grade students for Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test. This section provides help in using the "probable passage" technique to aid comprehension. In addition, links are available to...

A collection of links to probability activities. Each link contains a description of the activity, shown work, and the correct solution.

Students find possible outcomes using tree diagrams in this interactive web lesson.

In this activity students can use data collected on Hurricanes Katrina and Rita to study functions, predictions, and probability models. Students will track the two hurricanes to see how the paths of the hurricanes affected the Gulf...

This lesson focuses on randomness; it explains that what we often think of as random is only random because we do not have the tools to make better predictions. However, true randomness does exists -- at the very foundations of matter. A...

This site from Richland Community College provides an overview of probability including a list of probability rules. Several examples using dice are included.

Strategies to help students recognize the meaning of words through contextual clues provided by a standardized test preparation site intended for fourth grade. Includes strategies such as C(2)QU (See Two Cue You), PReP (Prereading Plan),...

This lesson is adapted from a Connected Mathematics Unit, How Likely is It? This investigation introduces biology as a source of applications for probability. In this lesson, Curling your Tongue, students determine how many students in...

In this online lesson, students will survey students in their school to determine their favorite type of hand-held ice cream. Before performing the survey, students will make predictions about which ice creams they think will be the...

Did you know that letter guessing on Wheel of Fortune is based on probability? In this challenge taken from one of TV's most popular game shows, discover what consonant or vowel should be guessed next based on letters already given. A...

Focus on the "language" of probability by listing events from your life that are certain, impossible, likely and unlikely to happen. Determine the likelihood of an event occurring using a probability scale, based on a data set, and by...

Activity Overview Use the SciTools App to simulate a Punnett square. Make predictions about genetic crosses. Learn about the following concepts; genes, alleles, dominant alleles, recessive alleles, homozygous individuals, heterozygous...

This site provides great practice on the concept of finding the number of outcomes of an event. Students can first learn about the topic by watching a step by step instruction video that also points out areas of concern. Finally,...

Students will explore probability and statistics using predictions and histograms. Theoretical and experimental probability will also be examined.

Use a bag of M&Ms to learn about probability. Includes graphs and percentages, and the steps needed for the students to duplicate the numbers.

How do we use ratios to make predictions? Let's find out!

A series of pages that help us understand testing one or more components of a trend using specific comparisons, a set of coefficients, error analysis of variance and the probability value.

People often draw conclusions from a small number of observations, but how easy is it to draw the wrong conclusion? Here is a simple project that shows the importance of making enough observations before making a prediction.

In this self-directed activity, students use graphs and maps of lilac phenology data to determine the best time to host a lilac blossom festival in their area. A handout with everything the student needs to complete this lesson is...

Writing enables students to process, organize, formulate, and extend their thinking about what they have been learning. In addition, teachers can also assign writing to help students evaluate what they know and understand about a topic....

Predict and determine the frequency of an event and measure to the nearest centimeter while constructing whirlybirds in a simulation of a parachute jump competition.
