With so many combinations, this colorful video allows your learners to mathematically figure out how many options they have when purchasing t-shirts. One instructional activity teaches how to find out the combinations, and the second...

The hunt is on! Young mathematicians follow clues and complete a series of ten math puzzles as they try to crack Dr. Integer's code and find the location of his hidden treasure.

Increase your sample and increase your accuracy! Scholars complete an activity that compares sample size to variability in results. Learners realize that the greater the sample size, the smaller the range in the distribution of sample...

In this probability worksheet, students complete an activity in which they then throw the die 50 times and record the number of even and odd outcomes. Prior to throwing their die, they make an estimation of how many even and odds they...

In this probability worksheet, 5th graders work with various coins. Students study the given picture and respond to 10 questions about the likelihood of pulling out each of the different coins.

Use this resource to provide a quick review of probability. Learners solve three story problems involving coin tosses and spinners. They make predictions about the possible outcomes. This worksheet could be used a precursor to a...

Rolling dice is a great way for your mathematicians to get a hands-on approach to probabilities. Use the chart to record whether they rolled a six during ten attempts. Calculate results individually (or in small groups) and then record...

Where is a geneticist's favorite place to swim? A gene pool. Young geneticists complete hands-on activities, experiments, and real-world problem solving throughout the unit. With extra focus on dominant and recessive genes, Punnett...

Verbs can be tricky, especially those modal verbs of probability. Take a look at a wonderful 16-page workbook that uses think-pair-share, critical thinking, skills practice, and discussion to assist learners in using the correct modal...

Rolling dice is the best way to show your learners how probability comes in to play. Although this lesson does not specify an activity, your mathematicians can try this probability with real dice to calculate their experimental...

Young mathematicians study probability. In this math lesson plan, learners calculate odds, and convert those into percentages of probability. Fractions are also used, making this lesson plan quite rich in some of the more difficult...

Students explore the concept of probability. They calculate the probability of an event happening and graph their results. Students determine the probability of winning a sweepstakes. They construct a bar graph to represent all the...

What's behind door number one? A fun resource lets learners simulate the classic Monty Hall probability problem. Pupils choose a door, and after they select a losing door, they decide whether to switch or stay. Using their decisions, the...

Find the needle on a lined paper. Pupils run a simulation of dropping a needle on a lined paper. The probability of the needle crossing at least one line is pi/2. After each trial, the interactive displays the approximation of pi based...

Are your young mathematicians having a hard time making heads or tails of probabilities? It's no toss up—here is a resource that's sure to straighten them out! Learners run the interactive to toss a coin a different number of times....

Find the box with two green balls. The applet uses six balls, three green and three red, and hides them in three boxes. Pupils choose a box and click on it to reveal the color of balls inside. Using the chosen box, the simulation keeps...

Middle schoolers explore and design ways to collect data through simulations and random samples. They perform two experiments to determine the answers to various probability problems, and present the data/graphs in the form of a...

Use this probability and graphing lesson to have your learners work with a partner to make a necklace out of Froot Loops. They record the cereal colors randomly chosen and strung, graph their data, then use a ratio formula to determine...

Using a game format, learners review what they know about theoretical probability. As they roll tetrahedron dice, they record their results as odd or even. Afterwards, they discuss their findings.

Put those thinking hats on and look at all the possible outcomes from rolling two different four-sided dice. The challenge in this problem is finding all the combinations when adding and subtracting the numbers from each die and creating...

Young mathematicians complete a family math challenge packet. They will complete a packet of mixed math activities. They work with graphs, comparing numerical data, tessellations, and probability.
