Probability worksheets

Alex was playing the sample games on Time4Learning’s website. After he did the pre-k-1st grade games he wanted to play some of the 2nd-3rd grade games. Most were too difficult, but he really liked the Probability game. I was amazed at how well he did after I explained it to him.

I made some worksheets based on the game. Here’s a sample problem:

1. 5 frogs, 2 salamanders, 1 beaver
What is the probability of choosing a frog? ________


The child first counts the frogs = 5. Then the child counts all animals = 8. The answer is 5/8.

If you would like a copy of the worksheets I made leave a comment or e-mail me.
