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
Review addition facts and build number sense with these 32 addition scoot cards featuring a fun Easter theme. A Recording Sheet and answer key is also included. The addition skills reinforced in this pack are:
writing an addition fact for a multiplication sentence
writing an addition sentence for a given array
writing the missing addend in an addition fact.
writing the sum of two given numbers
writing an addition sentence for a given illustration
problem solving using illustrations
There are two sets of Recording Sheets (Numbers 1-16 and 17-32). Students have a choice between the scaffolded and blank sectioned Recording Sheets. An answer key is provided to have students independently check their answers.
Prior to having students work on the cards, work-out similar sample questions on the board to familiarise students with the question types.
SUGGESTED USE
Small group rotations (cards may be rotated among small groups of students)
Math Centres
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 answer sheets 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 Sheets (2 options) in file folder. Glue file folder cover on folder.
This centre activity bundle will provide your students with a fun way to practise the 1-12 times tables. Both colour and black and white templates included.
ITEMS INCLUDED
✅ Centre Manipulatives in colour for times tables 1-12
✅ Centre Manipulatives in black and white for times tables 1-12
✅ Practice Sheets x 4 for each times table
✅ File folder cover for each times table
THE ACTIVITY:
⚫ Students will feed each ‘Biggy Mouth’ animal by matching each multiplication sentence (food) to its product (animal).
⚫ Once students have matched each multiplication sentence with its product, they may complete the times tables activity sheets. There are four practice sheets; two sheets have the times tables horizontally written and the other two, vertically written. In the first sheet, the times tables are written in order, while the second sheet, the times tables are mixed up.
PREPARATION:
⚫ Cut apart and laminate the times tables centre manipulatives for durability.
⚫ Glue the cover sheet for each times table on a file folder and place the laminated center maniupulatives along with the practice sheets inside.
⚫ Place at a maths centre.
This graphing unit features interpreting data in bar graphs and pictographs. Data is collected using concrete materials such as visuals, dice, spinners, coins and M&M’s . This data is then represented in bar graphs and interpreted. The section on pictographs requires collected data to be interpreted.
These no prep printables facilitate students to move from the concrete to the abstract. Graphs target students of different ability levels and are categorised into two main sections:
► ITEMS INCLUDED
Cover Sheets x 2 (if compiling all pages into a booklet for students)
►2. SECTION ON PICTOGRAPHS
The following pictographs are featured in this section. All graphs include questions that interpret collected data and symbols representing votes.
✓ Cupcakes Sold Pictograph
✓ Favourite Excursion Pictograph
✓ Bus Arrivals Pictograph
✓ Soccer Match Pictograph
✓ Pocket Money Spent Pictograph
✓ Ice-cream Sales Pictograph
✓ School Lunch Choices Pictograph
✓ Bake Sale Fundraiser Pictograph
✓ Favourite Pets Pictograph
►3. SECTION ON BAR GRAPHS
The following bar graphs are contained in this section. All graphs include questions that interpret collected data.
✓ Lolly Bar Graph
✓ Roll-a-Dice Bar Graph
✓ Spin a Colour Bar Graph
✓ Spin a Sea Creature Bar Graph
✓ M&M’s Bar Graph
✓ Coin Toss Bar Graph
✓ Animals on a Farm Bar Graph
