Probability resources

Students calculate the probability of randomly choosing certain scrabble letters, or combinations of letters.

Students match verbal statements about a class with graphic scales which represent their statements.

Students show probabilities by shading a spinner.

Students carry out an investigation to determine the frequency and percentage of different numbers resulting from 100 dice throws. They construct a table to record the results.

Students predict the outcome of 100 coin tosses, then carry out a test of their prediction, recording their results.

Students are asked four short questions that require them to use a table that contains a count of the kind of books borrowed from a library for a month.

Students calculate the number of different combinations of ties and socks that could be worn.

Students interpret data presented in a frequency table to calculate percentages and make comparisons.

Students complete a tree diagram to illustrate all the different combinations of height and colour of four candles and evaluate probabilities for some combinations.

Students calculate the chances of winning prizes when a prize wheel is spun.

Students identify the most likely combination of throws for a fair coin, and explain their reasons.

Students complete a table to show whether an event has a 'certain', 'good', 'even', 'poor', or 'impossible' chance of ocurring.

This task is about students selecting 'always', 'maybe' or 'never' to describe the probability of a range of probability events happening.

Students use a picture of a spinner to calculate the probability of the arrow pointing to the black or white portion of a card.

Students choose terms 'impossible', 'even', 'poor', 'good', and 'certain' to describe the chances of landing on selected squares in a board game.

Students match the descriptions: certain, impossible, good chance, poor chance, even chance to a set of probabilities shown as a fraction.

Students interpret a tree diagram to answer questions about the probability of selecting certain combinations.

Students show understanding of probability by selecting a fraction to represent the colours of choosing an article of clothing from a drawer.

Students interpret information in a table to answer probability questions.

In this practical task, students use a coloured spinner and record the frequency of colours occurring. They then use their findings to record the probability of each event and interpret these.

Students interpret information in a frequency table to decide the probability of winning prizes in a competition.

Students determine the probability of finding a lost cat in various locations marked on a grid map.

Students recognise equal and different likelihoods when playing a game of chance.

This task is about students selecting 'always', 'maybe' or 'never' to describe the probability of a range of events happening.

Students answer questions about the probabilities that relate to a map of an island.
