Spinner
Go round and round to compare theoretical and experimental probabilities. Learners set the number of sectors and the number of spins for a spinner. Then, a table displays the experimental and theoretical probabilities of the spinner for...
Shodor Education Foundation
Experimental Probability
Spin into a dicey experiment. Pupils use a spinner or a pair of dice to determine the experimental probabilities of each outcome. The interactive allows for either, one, five, or ten consecutive experiments. Using the applet, learners...

Measurement of Probability: Basketball Throw
Future mathematicians use an interactive to see how changing the size of a basketball court and the size of a region in the court affects the probability that a ball will randomly fall within the specified region. No calculations are...

Geometric Probability: Dartboard
Get your class on target with probability using an exciting resource. The interactive presents three square dartboards with different target areas, which are combinations of square units. Pupils determine the probabilities of randomly...
Balanced Assessment
Dart Boards
Bulls eye! Design dart boards with specific chances of winning. Individuals determine the probability of hitting a circular and a triangular dart board inscribed in squares. They create dart boards that have a 50 percent chance of...
Curated OER
Area and Perimeter
Learners find the area and perimeter of regular polygons and composite figures and examine the effect on the area and perimeter of a figure if the dimensions are multiplied by a constant. The nine page worksheet contains thirty-seven...
Curated OER

Buffon's Needle An Analysis and Simulation
If you dropped a needle on a lined sheet of paper what is the probability that the needle will cross one of the lines on the page? Surprise your class with how calculating this probability can approximate pi. This question is known as...
Curated OER
Geometric Probabilities
In this geometric probability worksheet, students complete problems involving experimental probability, theoretical probability, and geometric probability. They perform experiments using a specified computer program. This three-page...

Texas Instruments: Numb3 Rs: Sharpshooter
Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson forces students to consider the fallacy of computing probabilities AFTER a series of events have occurred. Known as Texas sharpshooting, student will find that finding the...

Texas Instruments: Probability as Relative Frequency
In this activity, students use simulation to justify the concept of the Law of Large Numbers. They understand that as the sample size increases, the relative frequency of which an event occurs approaches the probability of that event...
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Texas Instruments: Numb3 Rs: No Fly Zone
Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson has students calculate the probability that a spider web will catch a fly. The webs are modeled as standard geometric figures (circle, rectangle, triangle), and assumptions are...
University of Baltimore
University of Baltimore: Geometric Mean
A complete definition of geometric mean in the statistical concept of the word. The discussion includes several examples of how geometric means are calculated and how/where they are useful. Written by Dr. Hossein Arsham.
J Coffman
Joseph Coffman's Lecture Notes: Probability
The lesson examines probability. Students learn about simulations, theoretical probability, and geometric probability. Definitions, formulas, examples, and a quiz are included.
