Basics of Probability Part 2

Basics of Probability Part 2 is a Grade 7 card activity for learning the language of probability. Students work with the terms experiment, outcome, event, and probability, matching specific situations to the correct definition. Instead of memorizing vocabulary in isolation, they have to decide which concept best describes each example.

Use it in a small group as a vocabulary bridge before students move into more complex probability calculations and experiments. The sorting decisions make it easy to uncover confusion between an outcome and an event or between an experiment and its probability.
