Probability Spinners- Suggestions for Use


  • You could use these with or without the spinners - print and laminate as a 4-to-a-page sheet or cut out for separate grids.

  • For each spinner, children predict results and test their predictions - use the record sheet for children to make a graph or tally where the spinner lands for 10 spins - share the results - eg. 'The spinner landed on red 6 times out of 10, yellow 4 times out of 10'

  • Use the blank spinners for children to make their own according toyour instructions - for example - 'Make a spinner where I am most likely to spin a red', 'Make a spinner where I am least likely to spin a blue' etc..

  • Sort the spinners into groups according the certain criteria - eg most likely to spin a red / least likely to spin a yellow.

  • Incorporate 'yes / no' question cards as Marnie shows below....

  • I saw an interesting post on Pinterest the other day, showing a plastic, sandwich size, zip-lock bag that had had a piece of duct tape run along the base. The duct tape provided reinforcing that allowed holes to be punched through the bag for storage in a binder. I imagine you could run the tape down the side of larger zip-lock bags for a similar effect. This may not solve all your storage issues, but if there\'s just a few small games to go with a unit that\'s otherwise stored in a binder, it might help!

  • I was just thinking the other day that I needed some matching cards for numbers over 100 then today I came across the new parts of speech posters and thought I\'d check out the \"What\'s New\" section and there I found exactly what I had been wanting. Thank you so much for your wonderful resources. This is the first place I check when looking for resources and I\'ve been able to build a great collection since moving to the lower school grades last year. Thanks again!
