    Experimental probability and relative frequency

    Lesson presentations and activities

    • These slides show a full and detailed walkthrough of the Probability Race Game.

      Students will need a pair of dice and can complete this work as individuals, pairs or small groups.

      There are extension activities included and there are worksheets to save time, if required.

      Please feel free to feedback any questions, queries or amendments.

      This is fantastic. It is simply and clearly explained, many thanks.

      A very nicely put together lesson where pupils can roll dice and see how the theoretical probabilities of dice rolling compare with the experimental data they get. Would be good to put the whole class data together and see if that is more accurate than the individuals (which, of course, it should be!)

    • I used this with a year 8 class to introduce experimental and theoretical probability. It is loosely based on other similar resources I found online but I have made my own version to make it more straightforward for students. We did this at the end of the year, but it can be done at any time. If you use it please review and rate. Thanks!

      Great .. thank you form making this freely available. (I'm going to do it with mini cubes instead though :-)

      Great for my class. Thank you

    • Spreadsheet simulating the throwing of three dice and displays a bar chart comparing relative frequency to theoretical probability.

      This isn't really a lesson in its own right, but the spreadsheet is a very nice way to compare experimental and theoretical probabilities more dynamically. I also found it interesting as it involves rolling 3 dice, rather than the well-worn path of two dice rolling. It would be really nice to see some simulations for subtraction as well! Be aware that when rolling many times, you will have to wait for it to generate all the numbers...

    • I created this PowerPoint as an engaging end of term activity for my low attaining year ten class to investigate the relationship between amount of water in a bottle and the chances of it being flipped successfully. I used the resource to revise experimental probability but the wider investigation covers collecting data, a bit of FDP etc. I know bottle flipping is a bit of a sore point but for some but my class were fully engaged and it helped given them an appreciation of experimental probability. Worksheets are included for groups to complete.

      Thank you, a great engagement beginner or end of lesson to get students talking about probability and the link with Science/Maths and experimental elements.

      It's very helpful though some ideas were a little different but overall I found it useful
