NCTM
Grades 3-5
Data Analysis and Probability:
Understand and apply basic concepts of probability
Calculating...
Lesson  (...)
Lesson: Introduces students to probability simulation, allowing them to explore computer modeling while learning about probability.

Lesson: Students learn about probability by predicting the outcome of planned experiments and playing racing games.

Lesson: Students learn about how probability can be represented using geometry.

Lesson: Students use probability to determine how likely it is for each tree in a small simulated forest to catch on fire.

Activity  (...)
Activity: Create a game spinner with variable sized sectors to look at experimental and theoretical probabilities. Parameters: Sizes of sectors, number of sectors, number of trials.

Activity: Simulation of a coin toss allowing the user to input the number of flips. Toss results can be viewed as a list of individual outcomes, ratios, or table.

Activity: Experiment with probability using a fixed size section spinner, a variable section spinner, two regular 6-sided dice or customized dice.

Activity: Run a simulation of how a fire will spread through a stand of trees, learning about probability and chaos. Parameters: Probability that a tree catches fire if its neighbor is on fire.

Activity: Learn about sampling with and without replacement by randomly drawing marbles from a bag. Parameters: Number and color of marbles in the bag, replacement rule.

Activity: Simulate a game where two players each roll a die, and the lucky player moves one step to the finish. Parameters: what rolls win and how many steps to the finish line.
