When we teach probability for math, I like to incorporate Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. We read it and then decide if it is more or less likely that those things could happen to us. We then write our own probability problems as small groups. My kiddos have to write a certain, impossible, more likely, and less likely example. Then I read them out and the class has to decide what the answer is. This might not be how your school/county does probability...but I thought anything helps! :)

I can send a few things to your e-mail. I can't seem to find it on your blog so let me know what it is.
Oh thanks so much! My email is amydsteiner@yahoo.com. I appreciate it!
