classroom activity for probability 7.sp.c.5 hands-on

This learning resource focuses on conducting probability experiments using dice. Students will engage in repeated trials to collect data on rolling a standard six-sided die, calculate both experimental and theoretical probabilities, and analyze the differences between them. The activity includes defining terms such as theoretical probability, experimental probability, outcomes, and trials, alongside a structured approach to data collection through a group role system. It also encourages students to predict outcomes and reflect on real-world applications of probability, such as in weather forecasting or sports analysis. The experiment culminates in a comparative analysis of probabilities and an extension challenge to explore the outcomes of rolling two dice.
