This activity from NRICH allows students to simulate a probability experiment; to be involved, be creative, and construct their own meanings and explanations for the results they come up with.  The problem fits a wide variety of skill and age groups because the design of the experiment, and the analysis and interpretation of the data can be stretched to the students' level of understanding.

This activity from NRICH allows students to agree or disagree with a variety of probability statements.
