In this activity, students will complete the questions on the sides of the cube. When finished, students will color, cut, fold, and tape the cube. Skills: • Describe and write an example of an unbiased and a biased situation. • Calculate the probability of given situations using an eight section spinner. • Calculate the compound probability of given situations using a four section spinner and a fair coin. This activity contains one cube.

Looking forward to summer? This activity contains teacher directions for a student assignment using scale factor. Students are given coordinate pairs to plot, which will form a palm tree. Students must calculate the new image using a scale factor of 0.5, and complete the table listing the new points. Then, plot the new image. **I have included a Quadrant One coordinate. For more of a challenge, students may create a grid using graph paper (not included). Teachers may allow students to decor

This matching activity contains ten problems and answers for calculating the missing angle measurement of a quadrilateral. There is one challenge problem with combining like terms to solve for x. There are multiple ways this can be completed: • Students can cut out all the pieces, match them together, and glue on construction paper. • Students can cut out the quadrilaterals in two rows, match the correct answer, and glue on construction paper. • The first page can also be used alone as a worksh

This pdf contains 3 probability activities with a gumball theme. 1. A scenario of colored gumballs in a machine: students must color the gumballs to represent the situation, calculate the theoretical probability as a fraction and a percent, find the sums, and answer a question. This is given in two versions, color and black and white 2. There is a challenge for students to work with a partner to create their own scenarios. 3. The third activity involves reading a bar graph to calculate experi
