Probability resources

Students complete a chart showing the possible combinations of numbers from two dice throws. They then list all combinations that add up to seven and nine.

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 determine the probability of events related to a grid map.

Students interpret information in a frequency table to answer probability.

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

Students calculate how many possible combinations there are when given different numbers of menu items.

Students show probabilities by shading a spinner.

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

Students predict the probability about the product of two dice and test their prediction by conducting an experiment that estimates the probability.

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

Using a diagram of a spinner, students choose the chances of the arrow landing on particular numbers.

Students interpret a tally chart to answer questions about the proportion and probability of outcomes from a coin toss.

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

Students determine the probability of a hot air balloon landing in various locations marked on a grid map.

Students use fractions to describe the probability of an arrow landing on different bands of a target.

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

Students predict whether two dice games are fair and give their reasons. They then play each game (investigate) fifty times and explain their results.

Students predict the outcome of throwing five dice and confirm their predictions by conducting an experiment and calculating probabilities. After discussing how to get better estimates, they pool their results with others to get a more accurate estimate of how good their predictions were.

Students throw two dice, add the numbers together, construct a tally chart of results, and compare theoretical with observed outcome.

Students count the number of pairs thrown in a series of throws of three dice to evaluate the long-run relative frequency of getting a pair.

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

Students use survey data about sports results to estimate the probability of the next person's answer.

Students show the number of people in a survey as a fraction and indicate their understanding of sampling.

Students explain who is most likely to win a game based on spinners, and how the game could be made fair.

Students identify the most likely sequence of tosses of a fair coin and explain their reasons.
