Probability Carnival Games Project

Looking for a fun, hands on way to bring probability to life? Are you ready to move past the “sit and get” style of whole group instruction? If you answered yes to either of those questions, then the Probability Carnival Games Project is for you!

Keep your students engaged and accountable with the interactive, versatile Probability Carnival! The steps of this project are designed to be rigorous and require students to predict, reflect, connect, and think critically about the situations being investigated.

Using this project, student will design and run a carnival game with compound events leading up to 3 levels of prizes. Students must submit a game proposal and get approved by their teacher, calculate the theoretical probability of winning each prize, and then collect data and determine experimental probability. Reflection questions are included at the end.
