Reviewing Probability

Created by

Use these flashcards to play "Quiz, Quiz, Trade." (A Kagan Cooperative Teaching Strategy) Each student is given one flashcard. That student must then find another student holding a different flashcard. Students take turns asking their questions (the quiz, quiz part) and then exchange cards (the trade) after the questions have been correctly answered. Both students then move on holding a new card. A fun and engaging way to review concepts of probability!

Theoretical vs. Experimental Probability

Created by

Amy Newton

This is a hands-on activity focusing on theoretical vs. experimental probability. Students will work in partners to complete the activity. Each pair of students will be given a small, brown bag filled with a handful of colored chips. The students will use the colored chips to find the theoretical probability and experimental probability of choosing specific colored chips. The students will then be asked to compare the outcome of the theoretical probability and experimental probability. This a

My Dogs Ate My Homework

Middle Schoolers LOVE probability! This is a GREAT lesson around Halloween when the kids are already hyped up on sugar and want to 'talk' to their classmates. This activity allows the students to DISCOVER the differences between EXPERIMENTAL and THEORETICAL probability and connect it to everyday experiences. The probability lesson lends itself to fractions, decimals, percents, data collection, rational & irrational numbers, statistical graphs (box and whiskers, frequency tables...), measures

Math center. All you need is a deck of card for each student or group! In this center, students are expected to interpret cards by comparing characteristics (i.e. number, color), representing the data in a circle graph, finding the central tendency for the data and which one best represents the data, and compare and contrast the data sets.
