About this worksheet
Each worksheet has 6 problems choosing which of four events a given likelihood word describes.
Every other worksheet on this standard runs the same direction - describe the experiment, then name the word - and all of them can be answered by one habit: work out the fraction, then look it up. This one hands over the word and asks which of four events it describes, so a student has to hold the word steady and test four things against it with nothing to look up. The four choices always realize four different words, which matters: three wrong answers that are all likely turn the question into find-the-odd-one-out, answerable by comparing the choices with each other and never reading the word in the question. The experiments are the ones the standard's content limits name - one coin, one number cube, one spinner, one bag. Sheets can be customized, turned into flash cards, or assigned for online learning.
Student objectives
- Test several events against one likelihood word.
- Work out a probability from a coin, a number cube, a spinner or a bag.
- Tell certain from likely and impossible from unlikely.
Everyday practice
- Name an event that is impossible and one that is certain.
- Decide whether an everyday chance is above or below one half.
- Explain why flipping heads is equally likely.
