Even/Odds Game
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.

Probability
Fifth graders observe a dice, talk about how many sides it has and use that number as the number that would go in the denominator's spot on a fraction. They then discuss what the likelihood is of it landing on 4, and put that number in...

Investigating the Probability
Students investigate probability using coins and dice. They collect data, graph, organize and interpret data. They predict, describe, compare, compute and draw conclusions based on what they observe and record.

Probability with Number Cubes
Second graders make sampling predictions, predict outcomes and explore probability through experimentation.
Curated OER
Probability
Students complete various activities for probability. In this probability instructional activity, students use coins, cubes, peanut butter and jelly, playing cards, number cubes, darts, and a Gauss Curve to study probability. Students...
