Exploring Probability with Dice for 8th Graders

The video covers reminders about course deadlines and late work policies. It then delves into probability concepts using dice, spinners, and shapes. Students learn to calculate probabilities of various outcomes, such as rolling factors of numbers, odd numbers, and prime numbers. The video also includes exercises for students to practice these concepts independently.
