Connect ratios, probability, and combination outcomes with a challenging activity idea. It guides your learners through probability of an event as fractions or ratios, on a number line, and with correct vocabulary. The class will be...

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.

In this lunar cratering worksheet, students use probability to determine the outcome of coin flipping. They use this to represent the probability that asteroids will strike the moon in already cratered areas.

Odd or even—fifty-fifty chance? Pupils first conduct an experiment rolling a pair of dice to generate data in a probability lesson. It goes on to introduce mutually exclusive and non-mutually exclusive events, and how to use the...

There are a number of activities here where learners collect and record data, as well as, activities where the likelihood of an event happening is calculated given the experimental probability. Young statisticians organize information...

Students study the concept of probability. In this probability lesson, students define probability and visit an interactive spinner website to learn about theoretical and experimental probability. Students use pennies and work in pairs...

Math whizzes use data from simulations to make theoretical generalizations and discuss possible relationships between several given events. They use a simple card game to generate data to be analyzed.

Students discover how to use the probability of winning to determine if a game is fair or not.  In this probability lesson, students watch a video and analyze the probability of winning and losing different versions of the game...

Seventh graders solve and complete 2 different problems that include a number of other possibilities. First, they draw a marble as stated for each out of a sack of marbles and determine the probability of getting that particular marble....

Explore the concept of odd and even with your class using this resource. Learners take an online test demonstrating their knowledge of odd and even, sing a song about the concept, and engage in computer-based activities.

Students explore the concept of probability as it relates us to be able to make predictions about future events based upon our knowledge of past outcomes. They have an innate appreciation for probability. Students make a connection...

Middle schoolers identify and interpret various ways of expressing probability as a decimal, fraction, percent, or ratio. They solve problems based on probability as they apply to real world applications.

Students read the book, Jim Ugly, and discuss whether the odds were in favor of or against the character Jake finding his dad. They demonstrate an experiment involving odds by keeping a tally of how many times a colored die is pulled out...

In this mathematics worksheet, 6th graders identify what probability is and what it measures. They write the number of favorable and possible outcomes for each and display as a ratio.

In cooperative groups, middle schoolers contemplate the probability of 18 different situations occurring. After they make predictions, they compare them to the actual risk factors. This eye-opening exercise demonstrates that the odds of...

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

Pupils investigate the concepts related to the practice of using probability. They review the use of mean, median, and mode within the context of previous instruction. Students predict outcomes and calculate them in small groups. The...

Fifth graders study probability of events. They predict outcomes, and participate in hands-on experiments to find the probability of specified events. Afterward, 5th graders write probability of events in fractions and decimals.

In this finding probability worksheet, students, with a partner, problem solve and calculate the answers to seven mathematical equations involving probability.

In this radon alert:  understanding odds worksheet, 5th graders predict results of rolling dice and record data in a chart, then compare odds of events and occupations, then compare that with radon exposure.

Twelfth graders examine various ways probability is applied to daily situations. They use marbles and blocks to calculate the probabilities of picking certain colors. They also calculate the odds of picking a winning raffle ticket.

Students explore basic probability.  In this Algebra II/Geometry lesson, students use modeling to solve basic probability problems involving real-life applications. 

In this probability worksheet, young scholars solve complex probability problems containing logarithms, radicals, and square roots. This three-page worksheet contains nine problems.

Sixth graders explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson, 6th graders collaborate to collect spinner data based on the likelihood of spinning odd and even numbers. Students complete 2 other probability activities and...
