Spin a Frame Probability Math Activity

Here's my touch of creativity for probability lessons.
It's a Spin a Frame!



This idea came from a simple motion picture frame like this



I made clip art frames to fit each of the 9 frames and it becomes an instant probability center.
Students spin each frame to explore data and outcomes.
I plan to interchange my clip art for year long practice.

What do you think?
I even posted the freebies for you in case you want them.


I recently started a Facebook Group for teachers to share ideas, questions, and inspiration. 
Come Join the group!
 (Freebie ideas and giveaways are sometimes shared there!

  1. I HATE probability, with that being said, this station looks like a lot of fun.
    Way better than the old spinner!
