Shodor Interactivate: Probability and Outcome Discussion

How likely is it to draw a blue marble? Pupils find the likelihood of events and connect that to the probability of the event. They find the probabilities of simple events and show their probabilities on a scale.

This is a virtual discussion between a mentor and student involving mean, median, and mode. Discusses when each is used and how they are found.

Your learners will be surprised by the thought-provoking, counterintuitive puzzle presented in this short video that models a fun, fictional situation in which a game is played with two number cubes to decide which of two people wins a...

Your statisticians examine the characteristics of conditional probability and the probability of simultaneous independent events. They perform computer activities to find probabilities for simple compound events. They examine the...

Spin into a dicey experiment. Pupils use a spinner or a pair of dice to determine the experimental probabilities of each outcome. The interactive allows for either, one, five, or ten consecutive experiments. Using the applet, learners...

A simple coin-toss simulation through which students explore experimental probability. Accompanied by links to related activities, discussions, worksheets, and materials for instructors.

This lesson plan helps students develop tree diagrams and figure probability of events based on diagrams. Lots of resources are available to support teachers and students at this website.

Lesson plan to help young scholars understand independent and dependent variables through a fire probability simulation.

An interactive provides a model to visually represent the formula for the probability of an outcome. Given 10 numbered color cubes, pupils arrange them on the top and bottom shelf to represent the probability fraction. The learners use...

Go round and round to compare theoretical and experimental probabilities. Learners set the number of sectors and the number of spins for a spinner. Then, a table displays the experimental and theoretical probabilities of the spinner for...
