Students conduct an experiment, determine if a game is fair, and collect data. They interpret data, then display line graph. They conduct analysis of game for probability.

Students examine mathematicians' notion of fairness in games of chance. They work in pairs to perform three different experiments using macaroni and paper bags. They record their results on charts and compare their data.

Young scholars use playing cards to examine probability. In this probability instructional activity, students work in groups with a deck of cards and predict if the next card they lay down will be high or low. Young scholars fill out a...

In these math lesson plans, young scholars discuss how math problems are written to reflect real-world situations. They complete an online Math Hunt using specific web tools, and work individually to create their own Math Hunts....

Upper graders examine the concept of probability. They collect data and create a bar graph. They must interpret the data as well. Everyone engages in hands-on games and activities which lead them to predict possible outcomes for a...

Fifth graders participate in a lesson that is concerned with the mastery of math concepts related to probability. They play a math game that is an adaptation from Rock, Paper, and Scissors.

Students study the concept of probability. In this probability lesson, students define probability and visit an interactive spinner website to learn about theoretical and experimental probability. Students use pennies and work in pairs...

Young scholars explore probability by using games based on probable outcomes of events. They name all of the possible outcomes of an event and express the likelihood of such an event occurring.

Students explore the concept of probability. They calculate the probability of an event happening and graph their results. Students determine the probability of winning a sweepstakes. They construct a bar graph to represent all the...

Students practice the basic principles of probability by conducting an experiment, determining if a game is fair, collecting data, interpreting data, displaying data, conducting analysis, and stating and applying the rule for probability.

Students discover how to use the probability of winning to determine if a game is fair or not.  In this probability lesson, students watch a video and analyze the probability of winning and losing different versions of the game...

Students read about a Native American dice game online. They make replica games, and practice playing with them. They predict the outcome of the dice rolls by completing a dice throw chart.

Your learners will examine probability through experiments and dice games. Using a computer, your class will perform simple experiments to collect and analyze data to determine the probability of different experimental results. Students...

Young scholars explore sampling with and without replacement. They explore the effects on the probability of drawing a desired object. Students examine probability and the difference between sampling with and without replacement.

Explore how statistics are used in everyday life. Your soon-to-be savvy consumers use the Internet to find consumer-related statistical information and learn to make wise consumer decisions. Includes links to a practice sheet about data...

Elementary schoolers find out which month has the most class birthdays (mode) and which birthday represents the middle point of all the birthdays (median). They gather and organize data to find one number that fairly represents the whole...

Students (organized in partners) analyse a game through probability to decide whether it is a fair game or not.

Turn learners into detectives as they decipher encrypted messages.  Introduce your class to modular arithmetic and have a little fun encrypting and decoding secret messages. The activity does not hit many content standards, but...

Students experiment to determine if a game is fair, collect data, interpret data, display data, and state and apply the rule for probability. Students use a simple game for this experiment.

Students explore probability through cooperative group activities and interactive video technique.

Students perform different activities to better explain that the word "Average" has 5 different meanings.

Ready to introduce your class to the coordinate plane? This website includes a detailed lesson plan that includes two interactive games to help learners practice graphing ordered pairs. The scripted discussion is a little cheesy and a...

In order for students to acquire knowledge about math concepts, and in particular fractions, they need concrete ways to practice an abstract concept.¿¿¿ Using Hershey bars builds on prior knowledge as most students have probably...

Students play a dice game to complete probability exercises. In this probability lesson, students collect data using a dice game and organize it into a spreadsheet format. Students also write a lab report for an experiment on probability.
