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...

Challenge individuals to compete as many tasks as possible. Lower-level tasks have pupils apply costs and rates to solve problems. Upper-level tasks add algebraic reasoning and conditional probability to the tasks.

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,...

What's the probability your scholars will enjoy this worksheet? 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 is least...

First graders, after exploring agricultural products that can be considered snack foods, experience the concepts of ratio and probability. They analyze and record their class experience after dealing with the following snacks: peanut...

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...

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. 

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 plan, 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...
