Fifty-eight flashcards make up a set designed to reinforce math vocabulary. Within the set, you'll find bold-faced word cards as well as definition cards that offer a labeled example. Terms include base, percent, theoretical...

Math whizzes use data from simulations to make theoretical generalizations and discuss possible relationships between several given events. They use a simple card game to generate data to be analyzed.

Test your scholars' knowledge of a multitude of concepts with an assessment aligned to the California math standards. Using the exam, class members show what they know about the four operations, positive and negative numbers, statistics...

Ninth graders investigate probability through games. In this probability lesson, 9th graders discuss sample space and distribution. They collect and analyze data using graphing.

MAD about statistics? In the seventh chapter of an eight-part seventh-grade workbook series, learners develop probability models and use statistics to draw inferences. In addition, learners play games and conduct experiments to determine...

How many Calories one needs on a daily basis is dependent on a number of factors including gender, height, and activity level. In the third of seven lessons about energy and food, young nutritionists calculate the number of Calories...

Evaluate young mathematicians' understanding of area and perimeter with this series of three assessment tasks. Challenging students to not only calculate the area and perimeter of irregular shapes, but to explain in writing their...

I always knew there was a connection between art and math, and this lesson proves it. Fifth graders will use what they know about ratios and percents to design art inspired by Polynesian kapa cloth. A grid, specific guidelines, and the...

Students list the sample space of an experiment. In this statistics lesson, students calculate the number of favorable outcome in a given sample space. They define and apply mutually exclusive events versus not mutually exclusive events.

Statisticians analyze different samples to find independent and dependent events. In this probability lesson, pupils predict the outcome and then calculate the real outcome. They create a tree diagram to help predict the probability of...

Students demonstrate how to find the probability of events. In this probability activity, students use colored tiles in a paper bag and randomly select one at a time to record the probability.

Students collect and plot data on a graph. In this statistics activity, students analyze the distribution of a sample and predict the outcome. They find the line of best fit and discuss what would make the sample larger.

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.

What is the probability that two randomly seated people will be across from each other at a square table? Check learners' understanding of theoretical probability and compound events with this short assessment. A great opportunity to...

Here is a turnkey lesson that walks young statisticians through the development and uses of conditional probability. From dice games to surveys, Venn diagrams to frequency tables, the class learns how a given can effect the overall...

Looking for a good lesson on counting and sorting? This lesson is worth a look! For this classification lesson, learners sort buttons by color, shape, shiny verses not shiny, or number of holes.

Fractions can be tricky. Why not have kids think of fractions like they think of eighth, quarter, and half notes? In teams, the class creates four-measure patterns with their percussion instruments. They need to explain their rhythm...

Students find the volume of rectangular prisms.  In this volume lesson plan, students use a formula to find the volume of rectangular prisms.  They discuss the definition of volume and draw rectangular prisms.  Students...

Here is a good lesson plan which invites learners to practice measurement using standard and nonstandard measuring tools. In this measurement lesson plan, learners work with length, width, height, and area. They use standard and...

Students collect data and analyze it. In this statistics lesson plan, students make predictions using different outcomes of trials.

Students identify units of measurement. In this measurement lesson, students predict the length and width of their hands and feet. Students discuss their findings and if their predictions were correct.

Students practice addition facts, record data, and construct a bar graph. In this probability lesson, students participate in a board game in which bicycles move towards a finish line based on players completing addition problems. Dice...

Students identify letter names of notes, demonstrate simple rhythms, and use that knowledge to play short melodic phrases using the educational software called BugBand. Handouts and a quiz to assess student achievement are included.

In t his multiplication instructional activity, students read about column multiplication and complete 22 problems. A website reference for additional resources is given.
