Overview:

A probability activity where students colour marbles in a jar to match given probability statements. Designed for year 3 and 4 students.

Learning Objectives:

Interpret and apply probability terms such as more likely, less likely, certain, and impossible.
Create visual representations to match probability scenarios.
Develop reasoning skills by adjusting the number of coloured marbles to reflect probability statements.

How the Activity Works:

Students are presented with a jar of blank marbles and a set of probability statements, such as "Picking out a blue marble is less likely than a green" and "Picking out a yellow marble is less likely than a blue." They colour the marbles to make each statement true, adjusting the quantities to reflect the likelihood described. This activity provides a practical and engaging way for students to develop their understanding of probability through hands-on visual problem-solving.
