2. Coin Flip - this coin flipper builds a column graph one flip at time - let your students see the progression as data is generated and collected
3. Coin Toss - toss enough coins to make a prediction about probability (maximum number of tosses 1000, but you can keep tossing to get a larger data set)
4. Ken White's Coin Flipping Page - decide what kind of coin to flip (penny or dime) and how many flips you want to see
5. Lions and Tigers - predict the likelihood of a simple event (rolling a die) as a fraction
6. The Random Ball-Picking Machine - experiment with a random generator at a BBC site to collect data to make decisions about probability.
• After you finish working through the ball-picking activity, take a ten-question quiz

8. Understanding Experimental Probability - Experiment with experimental probability using a fixed size section spinner, a variable section spinner, 2 regular 6-sided number cubes or design your own number cubes.
9. What are Your Chances - What many people refer to as 'good luck' can actually be explained by a little knowledge about probability and statistics. This dice game allows you to see how increasing or decreasing the number of dice rolls effects an outcome.
