In this geometric probability worksheet, students solve and complete 12 different problems that include determining the outcomes of various types of probability. First, they use a tree diagram or an area model to compute the desired...

Class members determine the chance of surviving two years by explaining the concept of probability expressed in a medical terms. Would-be doctors continue to explain a conditional probability statement as it relates to the...

In this area and probability worksheet, high schoolers solve 5 problems where they find the probability of an event occurring. They also use a given photograph of the moon's surface to find the area covered by craters and determine the...

From z-scores to probability. Learners put together the concepts from the previous lessons to determine the probability of a given range of outcomes. They make predictions and interpret them in the context of the problem.

Solids come in many shapes and sizes. Using geometry, scholars create two-dimensional cross-sections of various three-dimensional objects. They develop the lesson further by finding the volume of solids. The module then shifts...

Adjust the overlap to compare probabilities. Using sliders, learners adjust the shape of two Gaussian curves. The interactive calculates the area of the left tail for one curve and the right tail for the other. Pupils set the interactive...

Introduces your class to random processes in networks with an activity that uses information about disease spread using the susceptible, infectious, resistant (SIR) model. Participants determine whether a susceptible person becomes...

In this dwarf planet worksheet, students use images from the Hubble Space Telescope and they determine the scale of the image, they identify the largest features in the images, they calculate the volume of Pluto and they create a model...

In this nature of mathematics worksheet, students identify the different aspects of mathematics and how simple mathematical models are constructed to solve problems. Then, they define the power and limitations of mathematical analysis....

A brief introductory presentation illustrates many images from Gary Paulsen's Hatchet. From berries to black bears, young readers take a quick trip through Alaska during a class reading unit.

Imagine if Sigmund Freud or Charles Darwin had a Facebook page. As part of a study of major historical figures in the field of psychology, class members are assigned a psychologist and design a mock Facebook page that includes...

In this Canada instructional activity, students read a 6 page detailed informational text about climate change in Canada. Students then complete 10 essay/short answer questions.

Use Glencoe's Math Course 2 randomly generated self-checking quiz to test your knowledge of area models and probability. Each question has a "Hint" link to help. Choose the correct answer for each problem. At the bottom of the page click...

The probability resource investigates compound events. Students learn about the topic through notes and examples. The tutorial consists of practice exercises to check for comprehension of the concept.

The different types of distributions are discussed here - uniform, regular, negative exponential, triangular, and normal. The properties of probability distributions are also explained here in detail. A good starting point in the topic...

Use a z-table to find the probability of a particular measurement. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Dozens of statistical terms are defined and illustrated in this glossary.

Students, teachers, and parents alike will enjoy this challenging math site. It contains a clever brain teaser section plus creative problems related to algebra, geometry, measurement, numbers, statistics, and probability. A Spanish...
