Students are introduced to the concepts of probability and chance. Using data given to them, they organize and create a chart to display the information. Using this chart, they calculate the percentage of chance and probability and...

Students calculate the distance and acceleration of an object. In this algebra lesson, students collect data and create table and graphs to analyze it. They complete a lab as they collect and analyze data on acceleration and distance.

Students collect data on baseball plays. In this statistics lesson, students graph their data and make predictions based on their observation. They calculate what the probability is that a favorable outcome would happen.

Second graders flip coins and tally the outcomes. They play the You May Already Be a Winner! game with cards under their chairs. Some cards are winners, some might be and the others are not. They play to explain the probability concept.

Students explore probability and the process of data analysis and predictions. They participate in two activities, one involving a calculator and one the Internet, in which they make predictions and conduct activities to test their...

In this math worksheet, learners examine the statistical information as provided in the graphic organizer and calculate the other values.

Fourth graders examine how to determine the probabilities or likelihood of outcomes. They complete trials to determine probability while using different manipulatives. They determine how games can be made fair or unfair in this unit of...

Students practice calculating allele and genotype frequencies in the framework of a simple simulation using hard candy, calculators, and a worksheet. This instructional activity includes a three-page worksheet and an assessment question...

Learners research various sports careers, locate possible places of employment, and give an oral presentation of their findings.

Young scholars design models to simulate actual events using a tale of random digits. They estimate the likelihood of a particular outcome using results of simulation. Students investigate the uses of statistical methods to analyze data.

Students need to be able to calculate the volume and surface area of a cuboid as well as present a systematic list of results in order to justify the minimum case. The use of three factors of 100 is also important.

In the first installment of a 21-part module, scholars build on previous understandings of probability to develop the multiplication rule for independent and dependent events. They use the rule to solve contextual problems.

Review basic probability concepts with your class using different-colored marbles in a bag. Then pair up learners and have them play a cool online interactive game in which they race miniature cars using the roll of a die or...

Learn how to determine a probability distribution. In the ninth installment of a 21-part module, future mathematicians use theoretical probabilities to develop probability distributions for a random variable. They then use these...

Take a chance on an informative resource. Scholars conduct probability experiments involving coins and number cubes to generate data. Compiling class data helps connect experimental probability to theoretical probability.

Although this binomial probabilities worksheet is based on a computer math program (Neufeld Learning Systems: Understanding Math), it can easily be used without the program. If you don't have the program, skip the first question....

What happens when your teachers get tired of grading tests and want to use games of chance to determine your grade? How would you decide which game they should play? Learn how to use expected value and standard notation to compare two...

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.

In this probability worksheet, students solve thirty-six fractional probabilities involving the rolling of a dice to specific scenarios, game spinners, sweets in a bag and random colors. Students check their answers online as they go.

Students examine the relationship between probability and geometry to solve problems. In this geometry and probability lesson plan, students investigate the effect of changing percentages on a spinner to the probability of landing on a...

In this probability worksheet, students explore theoretical probability, empirical probability, tree diagrams, and conditional probability. This twenty-four page worksheet contains approximately 80 problems. Answers, explanations, and...

In this probability worksheet, students determine the likelihood of an event occurring. They complete both simple and compound probability problems. Explanations, examples, and detailed instructions are provided throughout the worksheet....

Fifth graders interpret data into graphs and percentages.  In this organizing data lesson, 5th graders discuss bar, circle and line graphs.  Students complete bar graph and apply probability using the results.

Sixth graders interpret linear and nonlinear graphs. They create graphs based on a problem set. Next, they represent quantitive relationships on a graph and write a story related to graphing.
