Are you teaching your students all about chance and probability and looking for fun hands-on probability activities? This Probability resource features 125 animated slides and 32 Cornell-style note-taking sheets to make abstract content on Chance and Probability more concrete.

Your students will have a better understanding of theoretical probability, experimental probability, language of chance, sample space, predictions, lists, tree diagrams, and independent probability events.

Both US and British English spelling and terminology included.

Items Included

  1. PowerPoint Presentations - 125 Slides

The 125 slide PowerPoint presentation on Chance and Probability is broken down into six separate presentations for ease of use:

Language of Chance and the Probability Scale
Probability with dice
Probability with spinner colours
Probability with playing cards
Probability with crayon colours
Probability: mixed problems
Recommended Use

You may choose to present these presentations in any order except for presentation 1 and 6 which need to be presented first and last.

All 125 slides feature animations.
Not just visual learners, but all students will benefit from the visual animations that make abstract and complex content more concrete.
As a teacher, you will find that there is no preparation needed to teach this often difficult-to-understand math topic; simply play the slides for students to take notes on their note-taking sheets. All answers to practice examples are on the slides themselves.
2. Guided Notes - Cornell Style Note-taking Sheets

The 32 note-taking sheets are to be used in conjunction with the 125 PowerPoint presentation slides.

The layout of the note-style sheets is similar to Cornell-style notes. The left side features terminology and points to remember while the right side provides scaffolded notes on the lesson and practice examples.

Pick a presentation topic and play each slide one at a time giving enough time for students to record the missing information. They will be writing down information and solving practice examples from the PowerPoint presentation written in red text.

Students will be very engaged as they are not just watching you present the slides but in addition, they are actively documenting information.
Also Included

Teacher-guided notes to use as reference with the presentation.

Targeted Group

This unit caters to differentiation and best targets students in years 4-8.

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.

Slideshow and Guided Notes PowerPoint Presentations - 125 Slides 32 Cornell Style Note-taking Sheets _____________________________________________________ Overview of Activities 1. 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. ______________________________________________
