Description
Looking for a fun self-checking activity to practice working with theoretical and experimental probability? Students will use spinners and frequency tables to answer 20 questions in this engaging, no-prep digital lottery activity!
This activity requires students to find the theoretical and experimental probabilities of simple events and to use theoretical probabilities to make predictions. Please view the preview file to make sure that this activity is appropriate for your students.
In this activity, students will answer questions in order to scratch off their digital lottery ticket. As they correctly answer questions, more of the scratch-off card is revealed. After correctly answering all the questions, students check over their card to see if it is a winner.
In theory, there is a 10% chance of each student winning; however, this amount is subject to random selection and the actual data may not match the theoretical probability. Winning cards are not guaranteed until all questions are answered correctly. Just for fun, I suggest providing a small prize to any student who reveals a winning card.
Also, please be aware when assigning this activity: if students close and reopen this file, they will get a new lottery ticket. For this reason, if assigning for homework, ask your students to take a screenshot of their ticket if they have a winning card.
