Burgers and salads and sodas, oh my! Scholars use a menu to investigate the Fundamental Counting Principle. They create tree diagrams to illustrate the number of possible choices for each given scenario.

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...

Young scholars engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concepts related to probability. They review the key properties of statistics involved in the measurement of probability that includes mean, median, and mode. The lesson...

Learners explain why for a group of n people, there are an equal number of possibilities for subgroups of size k (such that k < n) and size n - k.

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...

Students use data from simulations to make theoretical generalizations. They discuss possible relationships between several given events and gain understanding about their own mathematical intuition about likelihood.

What happens when your teachers get tired of grading tests and want to use games of chance to determine your grade? How would you decide which game they should play? Learn how to use expected value and standard notation to compare two...

In this star cluster math worksheet, students use four different patterns to solve five problems about the fraction of stars classified by their temperature.

Students gather high and low temperature readings through email. In this temperature graphing instructional activity, students use a spreadsheet to input data for a graph. students interpret the graphs to compare and contrast the data...

Seventh graders explore the concept of collecting data. In this data collection lesson plan, 7th graders survey others about their environmental habits. Students graph their data.

In this bar graph worksheet, students answer short answer questions about bar graphs. Students answer 1 question about a bar graph about a cat, and 3 questions about a bar graph about U.S. rivers.

Seventh graders begin learning about compound events by considering independent events. They will consider everyday objects with known probabilities. Students will represent sample spaces using lists, tables, and tree diagrams in order...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This concept introduces the student to the basic concepts of probability, including sample spaces and events.

Practice interpreting diagrams and sample spaces to find the probability of outcomes.

Seventh graders will be able to represent the sample space of compound events, and calculate the probability of events using their sample space.

Practice checking if sample space diagrams match a compound event. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Answer interesting questions about subsets of sample spaces.

Learn and practice the concept of sample spaces. Features include a teacher resource page.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Recognize all possible outcomes of an experiment as the sample space.

This section explores how to determine the sample space, or possible outcomes, for an event such as rolling dice. It also investigates how to determine the probability of different outcomes occurring for an activity such as flipping a...

Answer interesting questions about subsets of sample spaces. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

In this exercise, students practice identify whether sample spaces fit compound events. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly.

This site from Bowling Green State University provides an introduction to probability. It discusses topics and activities such as interpreting odds, listing all possible outcomes (the sample space), basic probability rules, equally...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Here you'll learn about theoretical and experimental probability, including how to describe sample spaces and how to conduct probability simulations. Includes...
