Spinner, Math, Probability

Once upon a time, before fidget spinners became all the rage, a spinner was used to illustrate random processes for students, allowing them to grasp the concept of uncertainty, data patterns, and mathematical frameworks. This mathematical spinner can also serve as a modern-day fidget toy. By default, the spinner features numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) and letters (A, B, C, D, E, F), with a diameter of 80mm. The pointer is designed to be slightly loose for easy spinning and removal. Here are some thought-provoking questions for students to ponder: 1. What is the likelihood of landing on an even number? 2. What is the probability of getting a prime number? 3. If you spin twice, what is the chance of getting a sum of 8? 4. If you spin five times, what is the probability of getting all prime numbers? 5. What is the probability of landing on a vowel? Reference: Bu, L., & Fernandez, M. (n.d.). Spinner.
