What Are The Odds?
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...
Curated OER
You May Already Be a Winner!
Second graders flip coins and tally the outcomes. They play the You May Already Be a Winner! game with cards under their chairs. Some cards are winners, some might be and the others are not. They play to explain the probability concept.
Curated OER
Coyote Cafe
In this math worksheet, middle schoolers read the word problems and write down the possibilities of possible servings. The outcomes are plotted using a graphic organizer.
Curated OER
Rolling Dice
Fourth graders investigate the mathematical concept of probability. They determine the given mean of a data set found when rolling dice. The results of the experiment are displayed using a bar graph. The teacher does an example before...
Curated OER
Sitting across from Each Other
What is the probability that two randomly seated people will be across from each other at a square table? Check learners' understanding of theoretical probability and compound events with this short assessment. A great opportunity to...
Curated OER
Stochastic and Deterministic Modeling
Explore the difference between stochastic and deterministic modeling through programming. First have the class write algorithms for relatively simple tasks using pseudocode. Use the Python 2.7 program app to simulate Mendel's Pea Pod...

Ruling Out Chance (part 2)
Help your classes find the significance in this lesson! Learners analyze the probability of Diff values. They then determine if the difference is significant based on their probability of occurrence.

Passing Traits to Offspring
What makes each one of us unique? Lead your class in this exciting and educational activity as you uncover traits that show how each individual is different from another. Pupils explore facts about DNA technology and predict the...
Curated OER
Probability
In this math literacy worksheet, students solve the four problems related to the concept of probability using the multiple choice format.
Curated OER
Probability or Ability?
Students fill in a probability chart while attempting to catch candy with their non-dominant hands. They replicate the activity with a coin.
Curated OER
Designing Models to Simulate Actual Events Using a Table of Random Digits
Young scholars design models to simulate actual events using a tale of random digits. They estimate the likelihood of a particular outcome using results of simulation. Students investigate the uses of statistical methods to analyze data.
Curated OER
Drawing Conclusions
Students play a probability game, then design and complete a probability problem concerning changing odds.
Curated OER
Coin Tossing
Sixth graders examine the use of probability and compare it to actual real world results. In groups, they flip a coin a specific number of times while their other group members roll a set of dice the same amount of times as the coin. To...
Curated OER
Permutations
In this math worksheet, middle schoolers read about the concept of permutations. They arrange the objects in a certain order and think of the possible combinations.
PBS
Remove One
With a set of 15 chips and a number line, learners predict what sums may occur with the rolling of two dice. When their sum comes up, they remove one of the chips from their number line with the objective of being the first to remove...
Curated OER
Coin Probability
Fourth graders, in pairs, receive three different types of coin bags. They pick coins out of the bag and tally what was picked fifteen times. They do it with all three bags for three separate tallies.

ABC Data Sheet Version 2
I have filled out quite a few of these in my day! This ABC (antecedent, behavior, consequence) sheet is intended to collect comprehensible data to help determine the function of a particular behavior. This is a vital tool for assessing...
Curated OER
Lara's Equiprobable Dice
Young scholars try some new exercises involving probability. These are, first of all, that the probability of getting a given total when two dice are rolled is equal to the number of possible ways of getting that total, divided by 36...
Curated OER
Brian's Pegboard II
Students are able to assess a problem and use systematic methods to solve the problem. They also find out all the possible outcomes for a sequence of events using tree diagrams.
Curated OER
Brian's Pegboard I
Third graders focus on developing a systematic approach to problem solving while working on a problem that requires them to determine possible outcomes. They use a pegboard as a manipulative in this problem.
Curated OER
Plum Stone Dice Game
Students read about a Native American dice game online. They make replica games, and practice playing with them. They predict the outcome of the dice rolls by completing a dice throw chart.
Curated OER
Charts and Graphs
Fifth graders interpret data into graphs and percentages. In this organizing data lesson, 5th graders discuss bar, circle and line graphs. Students complete bar graph and apply probability using the results.
