Normal Distribution
Learners complete problems on normal distribution equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students complete 11 problems out of their text book.
Curated OER
The Bell Curve
Learners are introduced to the concepts of the normal curve, skewness and the standard deviation. They discuss how the normal distribution has been used and misused to support conclusions.

Why NP Min?
Students calculate the normal distribution. In this statistics lesson plan, students use the normal distribution to estimate binomial distributions. They define when to use NP and n(1-p) to make approximations.

Looking Normal
Young scholars identify the shape of a function. In this statistics lesson, students plot the data collected. They analyze their data for positive, negative or no correlation. They find the line of best fit.

Normal Probability Plot
Students analyze the graph of a distribution. In this statistics lesson, students define skewed or mound shape distribution as they investigate the data behind the graph. They define and plot outlier as well as normal probability.
Curated OER
Sampling Distributions
Students analyze sampling from different population. In this statistics lesson, students define the meaning of sample sizes and what causes an increase or decrease. They graph their data on the Ti calculator and draw conclusion from the...

Human Face of Mathematics - Mathematics in Aboriginal Culture
Students collect statistical data. In groups, students play a dart game and then determine the distance between darts. They collect the data and plot the information on a coordinate plane. They identify the mean and the...
Curated OER
Bell Curve
Students explain normal distribution of a measurable characteristic within a group of objects. They create two graphs (one for each type of Hershey's Kiss) with increments of measurement on the X-axes and number of measurements on the...
Curated OER
Assessing Normalcy
Learners define normal distribution as it relates to the bell curve. In this statistics lesson, students use the central tendencies of mean, median and mode to solve problems. They plot their data and draw conclusion from the graphs.
Curated OER
Transforming Univariate Data
Learners analyze plotted data in this statistics lesson. They differentiate between skewed and normal data. They also explore and interconnect exponential growth and decay as it relates to the data.
Curated OER
Data Collection
Students investigate qualitative and quantitative data. For this statistics lesson, students gather data on heights and weights of people and graph the distribution. Students discuss the differences between qualitative and quantitative...
Curated OER
Fitness Challenge
Students participate in a year-long physical fitness challenge. They record their weekly physical activities which occur outside of the normal school day. To be included the activity must be 30 minutes or more in duration, must raise...

Statistics
High schoolers log their computer usage hours. They determine the mean, median, mode and standard deviation of the collected data. They make a frequency histogram of the grouped data, both on graph paper, and on the TI 83+ graphing...
Curated OER
Percentiles
Students analyze the bell curve and make predictions. In this statistics lesson, students calculate the percentile to the left of the curve. They then are given the percentile and create the graph from the data.
Curated OER
Z-Scores
Students solve problems by identifying the percent of area under the curve. In this statistics lesson, students discuss z-scores as they calculate the different percentages under the bell curve. They calculate the standard deviation.
Curated OER
Bell Curve
Students explore averages by completing a data analysis activity. In this bell curve lesson, students measure different food items and plot their measurements on a X and Y axis. Students create bell curves around the average weight or...
Curated OER
What is a P-value?
Students test the hypotheses using p values. In this statistics activity, students define and examine conditional probability. They test each statement for a true statement or a false statement, based on the sample size.

Meaning of Alpha
learners define the alpha level. In this statistics lesson, students identify what makes the "null rejected" and discuss the data surrounding the null. They observe the meaning of alpha as it relates to the bell curve.
