Probability Cards: How Likely Will This Happen?

Young mathematicians demonstrate their ability to solve word problems using numerical expressions in this short exercise. Given Brenda's daily workout schedule, students must write and solve an expression representing the amount of time...

On your mark, get set, roll! Explore probability with your class using this series of fun dice games. Beginning with rolling single die, young mathematicians graph the results to learn that each number is equally likely to occur....

Work with graphs, tally marks, and probability. Fifth graders read tables with different sets of data, including tally marks and a bar graph, to answer five questions. Use this worksheet as part of a probability lesson, or as a homework...

How likely is a new baby to be a boy? Or for snow to fall in August? Mark the likelihood of various events on probability lines. For extra practice, have your fourth and fifth graders make up different scenarios in their lives to...

In need of a probability resource that has it all? Take a look at a full textbook chapter on teaching and engaging learners in mathematical probability and data analysis. It begins with a teacher preparation section, and then moves into...

Young mathematicians spin, roll, and toss their way to a deeper understanding of probability with this collection of hands-on activities. Whether they are determining the fairness of spinners or evaluating the probability of drawing...

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

Pick a card, any card... and then follow along with this step-by-step presentation as Sam from the Study Jams! crew determines what chance he has of drawing a jack from a deck of cards. This context serves to clearly model how fractions...

Sam bought tickets for a school raffle and wants to know if he has a good chance of winning. Help him find out with this step-by-step presentation on basic probability. Examples clearly model how to find the probability of simple events...

Roll the dice with this activity and teach young mathematicians about probability. Record outcomes for rolling two number cubes in order to determine what is most likely to happen. Graph the data and investigate patterns in the results,...
