Hands-on activities make abstract concepts tangible and relatable. By using everyday objects like coins, students can visualize outcomes and understand chance more effectively.
1. Grab at least two coins from your home. 2. Flip one coin 10 times and record the results in your notebook. 3. Count how many times it landed on heads and how many times on tails. 4. Repeat the process with the second coin. 5. Calculate the probability for each coin by dividing the number of heads by total flips. 6. What did you notice about the results?
