Who Would Have Figured?
Students investigate what happens when a coin is tossed a few times versus many times. They analyze, in groups, the data from tossing coins, and the Law of Large Numbers.

Heads-Up Probability
Second graders use tree diagrams to predict the possible outcomes of coin tosses. The data they collect and graph also help them predict the likelihood of getting heads or tails when tossing coins the next time.
Curated OER
Handling Data: Probability
Fourth graders find and justify probabilities and approximations. In this repeating experiment, 4th graders complete a worksheet after rolling die and tossing coins to determine outcomes.

Pair of Coins
In this finding the probability instructional activity, students use two coins to discover the probability of showing heads or tails. Students solve five problems.
Curated OER
Probability Scale 0 to 1
Use a probability scale line to help introduce learners to odds and probability. They start by examining an example line, looking at where events would fall from 100% probability to 0%. Next, learners complete two of these on their own,...
