Product description

From the author

If you teach math and are looking for engaging resources for your students, I have just the resources for you!

What You Get:

This is a Probability Color by Number Activity. It is a 4-page printable that includes a page of problems to solve, a coloring page, and an answer key for both.

How To Implement This Color by Number Activity:

You should print off enough copies of the worksheet for each student to have. On the first page, students will find the probability for each scenario on the page. They will go to the next page and color each matching probability value with the color assigned to that question. Students can use the answer key to check their answers before they begin coloring.

This Color by Number Activity is a great way to review these math skills. This can be completed independently. You can also have students work together to solve the problems. This is a great activity for homework or early finishers.

I hope you enjoy!

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Calculate the probability of a single event, such as flipping a coin or rolling a die.

  • Calculate the probability of drawing a specific item at random from a set with multiple categories (marbles, tiles, shirts).

  • Use a calculated answer to select the correct color for a color-by-number grid.

Teaching tips

  • Have students check their probability calculations against the completed answer version before coloring, since an early mistake compounds through the picture reveal.

  • Group the 10 questions by scenario type (coin/die, marbles, tiles, shirts) as a quick review of single-event versus multi-outcome probability.

  • Keep colored pencils matching the 10 named colors on hand so the reveal grid can be completed without substitutions.

Skills covered

  • Simple probability calculation — students find P(event) for single trials such as a coin flip or die roll.

  • Probability with multiple outcomes — students calculate probability from bags of marbles or tiles containing several categories.

  • Answer-to-color mapping and self-checking — students match each answer to a designated color and can verify against the completed key version.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

What situations do the questions use?

They include a coin flip, a die roll and selecting an item from marbles, tiles or shirts.

Can students check the calculations first?

Yes. A completed version of the ten questions supplies the probability answers before students color the picture.
