Skittles Chance and Probability (Editable)
Chance and Probability activity using yummy Skittles!!!
Students are to predict the colours and quantities before they open the skittles bag. Students are to complete a chance experiment where they use a tally to collect their data. Students then transfer their data in fractions, decimals and percentages. Students are to create a bar graph using their data as well as answer chance and probability questions about the data. I used this with my grade 5/6 students and they loved it!

2024 March Mathness Madness NCAA Basketball Probability and Statistics Lesson
Every year I get my students excited about the NCAA Men's Basketball March Madness Tournament. I see articles written year after year from statisticians, sports journalist, celebrities, etc. about predicting the perfect bracket. Regardless that most have accepted it is nearly impossible, it has not deterred these enthusiast from finding an algorithm or a machine that can predict the outcomes.This packet guides students through 1) An explanation of what March Madness is all about2) A reading abou

Candy Probability: Discovery of EXPERIMENTAL vs. THEORETICAL Probability
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...), measu

Probability of Compound Events (Guided Notes)
This lesson is meant to be used as guided notes for a whole class.
Students begin by learning what makes 2 events independent. After slowly working through a problem about rolling a die and choosing a card, they discover that they can multiply probabilities when working with these compound events. They then attempt problems involving picking marbles from a bag. Next, they learn about dependent events, and finally, mutually exclusive events.
The last 2 pages are a copy of the key.

Conditional Probability and Tree Diagrams Geometry Spring 2013 w/ Key (Editable)
Once I've covered basic probability and statistical measures, I like to have students work with conditional probability, which can often go hand-in-hand with tree diagrams. I created this worksheet for my Geometry students, and I find that it is challenging for them, but it can be broken down into "baby steps" and they learn to navigate their way around a tree diagram to calculate conditional probabilities.
I use this activity within cooperative groups, and I circulate to make sure they are ge

Activity for Theoretical and Experimental Probability of Compound Events
This Skittles Lab is a fun and engaging way to get students excited about finding probabilities. The experiment involves finding the theoretical and experimental probability of choosing a specific order of skittles from a bag. Students work best in groups of three to calculate their probabilities and reflect on their results. This extends what students learned about Single Event Probabilities and now involves a Compound Event. There are step-by-step instructions for students to follow through ou

Scatterplots Linear Regression Line of Best Fit Forearms & Height (Editable)
After teaching my students about scatterplots, correlation, and the line of best fit, I take a day for them to do a hands-on lab, in which they measure their height (in inches) and their forearm length (from the tip of their elbow, to the bony point on their wrist), and we plot the class data, write the equation of the line of best fit, and then use the equation generated both forwards and backwards. They will need 45 minutes to an hour to do this in class.
