Description

Looking for a way to get your students out of their seats and engaged in the content? This scavenger hunt is just what you've been looking for to help students strengthen their skills with theoretical and experimental probability! Perfect for extra practice or a review before an assessment!

The questions included are meant to be posted around the room. Students will then start at a question, working either independently, with a partner, or with a group. Once the question has been answered, students will search the room for the answer, which will be on top of one of the other question sheets. Students will continue to answer questions in this fashion until they are back to the question that they started with, thus completing the circuit. This activity promotes fantastic self-checking skills, since students are required to answer each question accurately to advance through the scavenger hunt.

This scavenger hunt contains 16 questions involving the following topics: outcomes & events, the concept of likelihood, finding the simple probability of events, finding theoretical/experimental probability, and how to use probability to answer questions and make predictions. Plenty of real-life examples are included to give students ample opportunities to practice the skills.

Also included is a Student Worksheet so that students may record their answers during the scavenger hunt and show their work.

Understand that the probability of a chance event is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses the likelihood of the event occurring. Larger numbers indicate greater likelihood. A probability near 0 indicates an unlikely event, a probability around 1/2 indicates an event that is neither unlikely nor likely, and a probability near 1 indicates a likely event.
Develop a uniform probability model by assigning equal probability to all outcomes, and use the model to determine probabilities of events. For example, if a student is selected at random from a class, find the probability that Jane will be selected and the probability that a girl will be selected.
Develop a probability model (which may not be uniform) by observing frequencies in data generated from a chance process. For example, find the approximate probability that a spinning penny will land heads up or that a tossed paper cup will land open-end down. Do the outcomes for the spinning penny appear to be equally likely based on the observed frequencies?
