  • E.T. Probability (Experimental/Theoretical)
    This activity explains the difference between experimental and theoretical probability.
  • How Likely is it?
    This activity explores the concept of probability and chance. It will show many different ways of expressing a ratio and what it means when connected with probability.
  • It’s Probably a Lot of Fun!
    The students will be able to identify the probability of an experiment as a fraction, decimal, or percent and compare experimental results with theoretical results.
  • Math 6 - Act. 22: The Dice Game
    This dice game will help students better understand basic concepts of probability.
  • Math 6 - Act. 25: Coin Tossing
    This experiment is designed to help students see that the probability is not the same as reality. However, they should discover that as we do the experiment more times, the results resemble the probability more closely.
  • P.I.’s (aka – Probability Investigators)
    This activity helps students to understand probability more fully and how it affects their daily lives.
