For fifth graders you would likely need to do a lot more than just this. For the first case you’d probably need visual aids, and a lot more examples.
Even then, I suspect a lot of kids would have trouble. Probability is tough. Teaching it even to highschool students can be tricky.
Oh, sure, I agree pictures and lots more examples would be essential. I was just trying to think of how simple an approach would need to be; not to actually write a probability textbook at the fifth grade level.
