Instructional Ideas
- Challenge class members to convert fractional probabilities into percents
- Create an experimental probability situation that allows class members to compare the results from one of the worksheets (theoretical probability) to a real trial of pulling candy out of a bag
Classroom Considerations
- The resource contains theoretical probability type problems versus experimental probability
- Students should have background knowledge and experience working with fractions and finding probabilities and ratios
- Consider numbering each question before copying a class set, and provide scrap paper for those that need it
Pros
- Comes with 10 different versions and their corresponding answer keys
Cons
- The questions are not numbered
