The Winning Edge: Probability in Basketball: Lesson 2

Middle schoolers solve and complete four various types of problems. First, they list all the possible orders completed. Then, pupilscomplete the table and show all the outcomes of throwing a coin and spinning a spinner. They also use a...

Roll the dice with this multimedia math lesson plan on probability. After first viewing a series of three short videos explaining probability, independent events, and dependent events, young mathematicians complete a set of practice...

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.

How likely is it that the school cafeteria will serve chicken tomorrow? Discover the concept of probability with the roll of the dice. Pupils evaluate the liklihood of several statments about everyday life. Then, a mathematical...

Everyone loves a lesson that involves throwing things around! To understand probability, your experimenters will predict how different cylinder-shaped objects will land when tossed. When the data is collected, they will calculate the...

Get your mathematicians thinking about probability with these three activity ideas using tangible math. First, students use dice to play a simple game, determining how many "odds" and "evens" they need to win. Next, they consider...

Once your learners can calculate experimental and theoretical probability, teach them how to compare their results with this video. Review the difference between each probability and how to set up the ratio from each event. Use the prior...

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...

Young scholars investigate probability. They will define probability as the likelihood of an event occurring. Then, they determine the probability of sitting in a particular seat on a plane. They also set up ratios of various seating...

A module where students find and interpret probabilities; explore conditional probabilities, and use the conditional probability to determine if two events are independent; work with two-way tables as you analyze conditional...
