32 Probability Task Cards - Certain, Possible, Impossible, Likely, Unlikely

These 32 probability task cards are for helping students practice considering what probability events are certain, possible, impossible, unlikely, and likely.

Students will read a short scenario, usually involving rolling a number die, spinning spinner, flipping a coin, or drawing marbles or counters out of a bag. Then, students are asked whether a certain event is certain / possible / impossible, or likely / unlikely.

The majority of the task cards (24) focus on certain, possible, and impossible events.

The remaining task cards (8) might be a little more challenging and focus on likely and unlikely events. You can differentiate by having students either complete or not complete these last 8 task cards.

If you are looking for a more comprehensive introduction to this probability vocabulary and some hands on probability practice, then you might like these Intro to Probability and Probability Vocabulary Activities.

You can use these task cards for Probability Scoot.
