Probability in Pixie

The 3rd grade student’s in Mrs. Knox’s class at Glen Lea really enjoyed representing probability problems by using stickers in Pixie.  After showing all of the possible outcomes, the students then filled in a probability sentence and used the words unlikely, likely, impossible, certain, or equally likely to describe the results.  This activity could easily be adapted for 4th & 5th grade as well.  They could write their own probability situation and create a similar Pixie from scratch for their classmates to solve.
