This hands-on probability project helps students apply experimental and theoretical probability through fun, carnival-style probability games. Students act as game testers where they make predictions, play the game, record data, and analyze their outcomes. Activities include Spin the Wheel, Basketball Toss, Duck Game, and Balloon Pop, plus a final “Design Your Own Game” challenge.
This low-prep, easy-to-run project uses simple classroom materials like a paperclip, die, and trash can, making setup quick and stress-free. Perfect as a 7th grade math project, this resource brings statistics and probability to life in an engaging, meaningful way.
Use this activity during or after your Probability unit to reinforce key concepts, assess understanding, and help students see how experimental results move closer to theoretical probability with more trials.
What’s Included:
7-page student packet
5 interactive activities (4 games + design challenge)
Teacher instructions
Grading rubric & example data guide
Aligned to CCSS 7.SP.C.5 and 7.SP.C.6
