Lolly Probability (Early)

EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

A fun worksheet for early years students, where they draw lollies in jars to match chance statements using the terms "will happen," "won't happen," and "might happen." For example, "Picking out a yellow lolly won't happen."

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand basic concepts of probability using simple terms like "will happen," "won't happen," and "might happen."
  • Visualise different probabilities by drawing lollies in jars.
  • Develop early reasoning skills by matching given probability statements to corresponding visual representations.

How the Activity Works:

Students are provided with different chance statements, such as "Picking out a blue lolly will happen." They will draw the appropriate number of lollies in a jar, ensuring that the visual representation matches the statement. This activity helps students grasp the basic concept of probability in a hands-on and visual way.
