Chance and Probability Activities Theoretical & Experimental Probability Bundle

Are you teaching your students all about chance and probability and looking for fun hands-on probability activities? This print and digital bundle of worksheets, task cards, slideshows and note-taking sheets on Probability will reinforce the understanding of theoretical probability, experimental probability, language of chance, sample space, predictions, lists, tree diagrams, dependent probability events and independent probability events. Both US and British English spelling and terminology files included. Resources in this Bundle: 1. Print and Digital Sheets Sheets (Pdf) x 80 Sheets Digital (PowerPoint) x 80 Sheets Digital (Google Slides) x 80 Assessment (print & digital) 61 questions Teacher's Copy for all 7 units - explicit working out key for each problem Cover Sheet (student) For all 7 units - compile all sheets into a booklet, this eliminates the need for students to write their names on each page. 2.

The Probability Scale; Words Describing Chance: Definitions and given scenarios Chance and Data (language of chance); class surveys 2a. Theoretical Probability: Manipulatives spinner numbers spinner names spinner colours marbles dice numbers playing cards 2b. Theoretical Probability: Tree Diagrams and Grids possible outcomes of two coins using a tree diagram and a grid possible outcomes of a coin and a dice using a tree diagram and a grid possible outcomes of a dice and a spinner using a tree diagram and a grid 3a. Theoretical and Experimental Probability: Rolling a six-sided dice a given number of times. Tossing two coins a given number of times. Spinning a spinner a given number of times. Picking an M&M colour a given number of times. 3b. Experimental Probability: Dice roll to find the number of trials and relative frequency of the numbers rolled. Group experiment to toss a coin a given number of times and record the total heads, total tails, total outcomes, and relative frequencies of heads and tails (fractions and decimals) for each group. This is to prove the law of large numbers that indicate that as the number of trials increase, the relative frequencies tend to get closer to the expected value (0.5) of tossing a coin. 4. Word Problems for both theoretical and experimental probability outcomes: Nature of Problems (sample space, lists, tree diagrams) Picking a favourable outcome from given possible outcomes. Problems pertaining to coin tosses and dice rolls Real-life problem: left-handed, right-handed people Problems involving possible combinations shown via a tree diagram Problems with Spinner spins 5. Independent Probability Events Determining the Independent Probability of events using: Playing Cards Dice Numbers Coin Tosses M&M's Candy Spinners Word Problems Lists and Tree Diagrams 6. Dependent Probability Events Determining the Dependent Probability of events using: Playing Cards Visual Images Letter Tiles Marbles M&M's Candy Word Problems 7. Assessment 10 Print and Digital Sheets comprising 61 questions. ______________________________________________
