Are you teaching your students all about chance and probability and looking for fun hands-on probability activities? This print and digital (google slides) bundle of probability worksheets 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 included. Overview of Activities 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 colors 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 color 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. Word Problems for both theoretical and experimental probability outcomes: This section features ‘Work with Teacher’ and ‘Student Practice’ pages. The ‘Work with Teacher’ page will enable you to demonstrate the solution for each problem. I work on the PDF version of the file on the I-pad. This is projected on the interactive whiteboard (via a VGA cable) as I show annotations and working out of the problems. The ‘Student Practice’ pages will enable your students to practice the problem-solving strategies modeled by you in the ‘Work with Teacher’ pages. Problems are the same format with only a change in the numbers. Nature of Problems (sample space, lists, tree diagrams) Picking a favorable 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 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

BASE TEN: HUNDREDS TENS AND ONES: SCOOT Build number sense with these 24 Base Ten Scoot Cards on Hundreds, Tens and Ones. These cards feature colourful base ten block illustrations to help your students count in hundreds, tens, and ones. Recording sheets (2 options), file folder covers and answer key also included. ********************************************************************** SUGGESTED USE → Small group rotations (cards may be rotated among small groups of students) → Math Centres → Early Finishers → Morning Work → Warm-up/Tuning in Activity ⇒ Game of Scoot: There are many variations to the game. Here’s one: Lay cards around the classroom. When the teacher calls ‘scoot’ students pick up a card and write their response on the provided Recording Sheet. Students can only move when ‘scoot’ is called out. If the student does not finish solving the problem on a card, he/she can continue to spend more time on it, but must wait till the teacher calls out ‘scoot’. You can also have this as a silent activity where students move around quietly solving all the task cards without the teacher calling out ‘scoot’. At the culmination of the activity, project the cards on the interactive whiteboard and discuss the answers with the class. Alternatively, place the answer sheet at a Centre for students to self-check. ********************************************************************** PREPARATION ♦ Stack and perfectly align sheets. Cut along task card borders carefully. Work with 3 sheets at a time for better manipulation. ♦ Laminate cards for durability. There are four cards on a single sheet. ♦ Store cards in zip-loc bags (small plastic pouches). Label. ♦ Place cards and copies of Recording Sheet in file folder. ♦ Glue file folder cover (2 options included) onto folder.
