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
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 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.
