How Many Outcomes? Probability Worksheets is a hands-on resource designed to help students develop their understanding of chance and probability through practical and engaging tasks. These worksheets guide students to explore equally likely and unequal outcomes using familiar tools like dice, spinners and card decks, providing the perfect blend of reasoning, experimentation and reflection.

Through three scaffolded worksheet sections, students practise identifying all possible outcomes of given chance experiments. Each task encourages them to think critically about probability, fairness and the likelihood of various results. Visual and kinaesthetic learners will benefit from colouring spinners, organising card outcomes and using counters to represent chances—making this an excellent tool for introducing or reinforcing key probability concepts.

Whether used during a unit on chance or as part of a broader data and statistics sequence, these worksheets offer meaningful opportunities for repetition, discussion and extension. They’re ideal for small group rotations, independent practice or homework, and support students as they develop the language and logic required to reason about probability.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Identify all possible outcomes of chance-based activities
• ✅ Distinguish between equally likely and unequal chance outcomes
• ✅ Use tables to represent probability in structured ways
• ✅ Apply reasoning to explain fairness and likelihood in experiments
• ✅ Design and evaluate chance activities using everyday objects

What’s Included:

• Three structured worksheets focused on chance and outcomes:
• Die-rolling and outcome listing tasks
• Colouring and analysing a 12-section spinner
• Card deck creation and recording tables
• Tables and prompts to guide student responses
• Scaffolded instructions to support independent and partner completion

Materials Needed:

• Printed worksheets
• Coloured pencils or markers
• Optional: dice, spinners or counters for physical modelling
• Optional: blank playing cards or cardboard to create decks

How to Use:

• Introduce probability language: possible, likely, unlikely, equal chance, etc.
• Guide students through Section 1 by identifying die outcomes and recording them
• Support students in designing and analysing a spinner in Section 2
• Use Section 3 to explore fairness and outcome creation through a card activity
• Encourage reasoning and explanation throughout to support deeper understanding

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Set up as a maths station during your chance or statistics unit
• 💡 Use as a follow-up to hands-on activities with dice, spinners and cards
• 💡 Assign as a homework task to reinforce classroom instruction
• 💡 Incorporate into a discussion on fairness in games or sports settings

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Provide physical spinners, dice and counters to support kinaesthetic learners
• 💛 Pair students for collaborative reasoning and explanation
• 💛 Display vocabulary and outcome examples to support all learners
• 💛 Have students design their own chance experiments as an assessment task

How Many Outcomes? Probability Worksheets helps students build confidence in identifying, recording and reasoning about chance. With accessible visuals, scaffolded tasks and opportunities for extension, this resource makes learning about probability both practical and fun.
