Fractions and Probability Spinners

Fractions and Probability Spinners is a Grade 7 activity that connects fractional parts of a spinner to theoretical probability. Students first color spinner sections according to assigned fractions, then use those finished spinners to answer questions about landing on one color or combinations of colors. Because the sample spaces are built by the students, the probability statements stay visibly tied to fractional area.

Use it to move from simple single-event probability into questions such as the chance of landing on green or blue. The paper-clip spinner also keeps the experiment hands-on and easy to repeat.
