- Divide class into groups of 4-5
- Give each group a bag of multi-coloured lollies, eg mms
- Groups divide their lollies into colours
- Groups make up their own questions & answers, eg "what is the probability that if Sam takes 3 lollies he will get at least 1 red one?"

Rolling a dice. Fliiping a coin.
My theory is a coin does not flip exactly 50/50 because of the weght difference on the head side vs the tail side. like on a quarter. It would take several people to get a good run, say 100 flips, and see the outcome.
The old Marlyn Vos Savant (sp?) question of the Monty Hall Prize. Three cups, one with prize and the other two with clunker prizes.
Have kid one mix the cups around.
The other picks a cup.
Then the first removes one of the clunkers cups and ask if the other kid wants to switch or not.
According to Marlyn, it is better odds to switch than to stay on the one you got.
THe way she says, if you stay on the first you chose, you have a 1 in 3 chance of hitting. But if you switch, you either have a 50% or 66% chance of hitting, (I forget which %). So she says it is better to switch.

My fashionable math activity isn't a board activity, it truly is a card activity. it truly is stated as sixty 4...or 24? in all risk 24... (i'm truly undesirable at REMEMBERING numbers, yet i'm tremendously good on the maths end.) There are 4 numbers on a card and you will desire to "make" them equate to 24 (or sixty 4). There are tiers - least complicated being in basic terms addition/subtraction, and then throwing in multiplication and branch. as far as BOARD video games...hmm. maximum board video games I play are extra linguistically concentrated. What approximately Aggravation? (Rolling die, determining which piece to pass to furnish your self the main suitable benefit, the possibility of having 'caught' everywhere...)

Probability math in elementary school? I thought that was an advanced calculus class.
