Probability resources

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 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 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.

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 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 use a number line to show as a fraction, the probability of the outcomes of different coin throws.

Students select answers to show whether the chance of certain events happening is even or not even.

Students decide which arrow on three spinners is most likely to point to white, and explain their reasons.

Students choose the best statement from five options to describe the probability of receiving notes and coins in a board game.

Students select from the words 'certain', 'likely', 'unlikely', and 'impossible' to show the probability of a spinner landing on a defined area.

Students determine the correct probabilities for a series of coin throws.

Students calculate the probability of choosing certain Scrabble letters.

Based on a results table, students respond to questions about the probability of events occurring when an arrow is spun and lands on different colours.

Students show understanding of probability by selecting a fraction to represent the chances of picking coloured marbles from a cup.

Pairs of students play a game with four dice, calculate the probability of winning the game, comment on how to get a more accurate estimate of the probability, and explain whether the game is fair based on their results.

Students use fractions to describe the probability of receiving cellphones of certain colours as a prize.

Students select answers to show which child has the best chance of selecting their favourite coloured marble from a bag.

Students calculate the probability of students winning prizes when their names are put in a box with 100 names in it.
