This Rock, Paper, Scissors probability project blends circle graphs, experimental and theoretical probability, and fractions, decimals, and percent into one meaningful multi-day activity. Turn a classic game into a powerful math investigation!

Students will play repeated rounds of Rock, Paper, Scissors to gather real data, compare results to theoretical expectations, and represent their findings in pie graphs. Along the way, they’ll explore randomness, fairness, and strategy - making this a perfect hands-on experience for your probability unit.

What’s Included:
✔️ 12-page student booklet
✔️ Answer keys
✔️ Management tips and setup instructions
✔️ Reflection questions for deeper thinking

Why teachers love this project:
⭐ Promotes critical thinking and real-world math application
⭐ Encourages student collaboration and discussion
⭐ Integrates multiple math strands: data, number sense, and probability
⭐ Easy to use across 4–5 class periods with minimal prep

Whether you use it as a culminating project, a multi-day math station, or a collaborative class challenge, this engaging investigation will have your students thinking like mathematicians through play!
