Probability resources

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

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 cut out pictures and use them to show all the different possible combinations of two sets of objects.

Students complete a tree diagram to show all possible combinations of a drink, main course, and dessert that could be chosen for a party.

Students draw a tree diagram to show all the possible colour combinations for the walls, carpet, and ceiling of a room.

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

This task requires students to interpret a tree diagram of art materials and identify the number of different possibilities from various combinations presented.

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 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 work out and count the different meal combinations available as shown in a tree diagram.

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.

For this NEMP task students work out all possible combinations in a table tennis contest.

Students work out the number of possible combinations of clothes three people could wear.

Students identify possible combinations of scores from a dart thrown at a target. They also find the lowest possible score and individual throws from a given total score.
