Experiment with probability using a fixed size section spinner, a variable section spinner, two regular 6-sided dice or customized dice.
Crazy Choices Game (Activity)
Compare theoretical and experimental probabilities, using dice, cards, spinners, or coin tosses. Three different probabilities can be compared at once. Parameters: Type of probabilities, number of trials.
Skew Distribution (Activity)
Change the median and standard deviation of an automatically generated normal distribution to create a skewed distribution, allowing you to observe properties like what it means for the mean, median, and mode to be different. Parameters: median, standard deviation, number of trials, class intervals.
Simulate a game where two players each roll a die, and the lucky player moves one step to the finish. Parameters: what rolls win and how many steps to the finish line.
This lesson teaches students about theoretical and experimental probability through a series of work stations.
Considers probability problems with unexpected and surprising answers.
This worksheet is for use with the Crazy Choices Game activity (http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/CrazyChoicesGame/).
Students learn about how probability can be represented using geometry.
Discusses the relationship between geometry and probability.
Introduces conditional probability and the probability of simultaneous events.
