How to use this sheet

  • Act out a few questions with a real spinner, coins or a bag of cubes before the sheet.
  • Have the child explain each answer: "It is unlikely because there is only one red."
  • For experiments, have the child predict first, then compare the prediction with the results.

Common mistakes

  • Thinking a result that has not happened for a while is "due". Each coin flip is new.
  • Mixing up impossible and unlikely. Impossible means it can never happen.
  • Writing a probability greater than 1. A probability is between 0 and 1.
