They decided by looking at the percents. Different games had different results based on which cases were open.

How did students know when to take the deal or not? What probability was best?

Glad to hear that you and your students have been having fun with some of the probability activities that I have posted. I did the same activities with my high school Algebra 1 students about two weeks ago. I'm convinced that probability is one of the most fun areas of mathematics to teach.

I used the Beano game to introduce probability to my students, and it was great! We then played the online version of Deal or No Deal to wrap up and kids had so much fun. In my first class we just played for fun, then in subsequent classes I tried your second document. It worked great! We were only able to play through one game, however it was a great review for fractions, decimals, percents and probability for my 7th graders. Thanks so much:)
