The Chance You Take

probability · theoretical and experimental probability

Create and solve problems, using the numerical definition of probability as favourable outcomes divided by possible outcomes [7.SP(P).10].

The Chance You Take is a Grade 7 probability game where a die determines which spaces players may mark on their game boards. If a roll cannot be used because that row is already complete, the value passes around the table until another player can use it. When no one can use a roll, the game ends and the fullest board wins.

Use it for small-group work when students are comparing theoretical and experimental probability. The repeated die outcomes give students real data to compare with expected frequencies after the game.
