Spin a spinner, flip a coin or roll a die and watch two sets of bars: the chances the shapes predict, and the results you actually got. Ten spins prove nothing; a few hundred and the two are hard to tell apart.
Probability Playground
About this simulation
Explore a Galton board, coin flips, dice and spinners in one place. Run a few trials or thousands, then compare observed results with theoretical probabilities.
What students can explore
- What do you predict will happen after 200 trials?

Questions teachers ask
Is the Probability Playground simulation free?
Yes. Open the Probability Playground simulation in a modern browser with no download or sign-up required.
Is it suitable for Middle School and High School?
The simulation includes learning-level presets spanning Middle School and High School. Choose the level that matches your class, then use it on a projector or student devices.

More interactive science models
Type any function and see its shape straight away. Plot up to three at once in three colours to compare them, drag the trace point to read a value off a curve, and see where each one crosses zero.
Move m and watch the line tilt; move b and watch it slide. Or drag the two points on the line and read the equation it writes back. A rise-over-run staircase climbs the line so slope becomes something you can count.
Compare a two-body orbit with three-body figure-eight motion, then add up to twelve bodies. Change initial masses, velocities and positions; watch orbit trails and numerical energy error.
Approximate the area under a curve with strips and choose how each takes its height: left edge, right edge, middle, or a sloping top. Push the strip count up and watch the error fall, with the running total plotted as its own curve.
