Tree Diagrams and Probability
Aspiring statisticians create tree diagrams and figure probabilities of events based on those diagrams. They practice adding and multiplying fractions and explain complementary probabilities. Students use computers activities to make...
Curated OER
Probability and Expected Value
Students collect data and analyze it. In this statistics lesson, students make predictions using different outcomes of trials.
Curated OER
ng Data: Probability, What's in the bag?
Students use the language associated with probability to discuss events including those with equally likely outcome. They collect data from a simple experiment and record in a frequency table: estimate probabilities based on this data
Curated OER
What are the Odds
Students predict the-outcome of an event. In this algebra lesson, students compare and contrast the probability of an event occurring. They calculate the odds of a simple event and make estimation.
Curated OER
Do You Feel Lucky?
Students calculate simple probabilities using mathematics then roll dice to test their predictions.
Curated OER
Lucky Number
Students use data from simulations to make theoretical generalizations. They discuss possible relationships between several given events and gain understanding about their own mathematical intuition about likelihood.

Breakfast Before School
Are the events "I eat breakfast" and "I am late for school" independent events? Assess learners' understanding of independence in a simple context with this short learning exercise. Use as an opener, as part of an assignment, or discuss...
Curated OER
Alex, Mel, and Chelsea Play a Game
This short probability question may look simple at first, but it is actually quite complex! Learners must understand independent events in context and must take into account several different scenarios. Use as an individual assignment...
Curated OER
Chaos
Students experiment with several chaotic simulation, they build a working definition of chaos. Students reinforce their knowledge of basic probability and percents. They are reminded of previous knowledge that is pertinent to this...
Curated OER
Recognize, create and Record Simple Repeating Patterns
Students analyze, create, and record repeating patterns. In this geometry instructional activity, students create shapes using patterns and keep track of the different shapes. They incorporate transformation and reflections into their...
Curated OER
The Probability that God Exists
In this probability worksheet, students are presented with how a scientist calculated the chance that God exists. References to scientists, mathematicians, and books are made.

Equally Likely and Unequally Likely Outcomes
Students explore probability. In this statistics/probability instructional activity, students compare experimental and theoretical probability and use experimental probability to make predictions and conjectures. Students explore the...
Curated OER
Computer Passwords
Learners determine an appropriate numerical representation of a problem situation, including roots and powers. They determine an appropriate number of digits to represent an outcome. Pupils are asked to determine how many years it...
Curated OER
Simulation and Statistics
Students perform simulation of video games as they explore statistics. In this algebra lesson, students relate concepts of statistics and data collection to solve problems. They decide their next step based on the previous assessment of...
Curated OER
Students use fundamental counting principle to compute combinations and permutations
Students define Pascal's triangle and special notations used to represent nth elements. In this geometry lesson plan, students solve problems using permutations and combinations. They compare the formula for permutation to that of...
