Probability

Capture the engagement of your young mathematicians with a collaborative graphing activity. Using a deck of zoo animal picture cards, students select a picture from the deck, record the chosen animal on a graph, and then replace the card...

What's the probability your scholars will enjoy this learning exercise? Pretty high, especially for visual learners. They examine a table of types of beads in a grab bag. Pupils determine which type is most likely to be picked and which...

What are the chances? Probability comes into play in this worksheet as mathematicians examine a circular chart with images, determining the possibility that the "spinner" will land on each of the images. Appropriate for younger...

Take advantage of this interdisciplinary resource and bring together topics in science, language arts, and math. Use characters and events from the story Tillena Lou's Big Adventure as a context for practicing addition and subtraction,...

In this probability worksheet, learners roll dice to determine the experimental probability of rolling each number on a die. The experiment is repeated using a dice rolling application on their computer. Students find the theoretical...

Introduce learners to probability through a vocabulary preview that covers words like impossible, likely, unlikely, and certain. After reviewing what probability is learners assess four sentences in relation to how likely they are to...

A straightforward math video provides an easy-to-understand explanation of probability. It is meant to be a first foray into the topic and would be useful in an elementary school classroom. The example given would be appropriate for use...

Here is a very clever way of teaching young mathematicians the concept of probability. A spinner is made that has two outcomes, yes and no. A chart is made that has two columns that are labeled Correct and Incorrect. The teacher asks a...

In this math/nutrition lesson, the nutritional value of 3 snack foods is recorded on a data chart and represented on a bar graph. Students analyze and compare information, construct data charts and related bar graphs, and draw...

Second graders experiment with probability. In this probability lesson, 2nd graders pick colored beans from a bag to find the chance of getting different colors. They make fair and unfair spinners and record the data after spinning them.
