How do you summarize data that cannot be averaged? Using an exploratory method, learners complete a two-way frequency table on super powers. The subject matter builds upon 8th grade knowledge of two-way tables. 

Flip a coin to determine whether the probability of heads is one-half. Pupils use simulated data to find the experimental probability of flipping a coin. Participants compare the long run relative frequency with the known theoretical...

Based upon the statistics, this is what it means. The last lesson plan in a series of 22 has pupils present the findings from their statistical projects. The scholars discuss the four-step process used to complete the project of their...

Take flight with a fun activity focused on graphing data on a coordinate plane. As learners study the data for Granny's hot-air balloon trip, including the time of day and the distance of the balloon from the ground, they practice...

The shape of the histogram is also relative. Learners calculate relative frequencies from frequency tables and create relative frequency histograms. The scholars compare the histograms made from frequencies to those made from relative...

The 17th lesson in a unit of 22 presents asks the class to conduct a statistics project. Pupils review the first two steps of the process of asking a question and collecting data. They then begin the process by developing a...

Bring the class into the probability by having everyone count buttons on their shirts. Organize the data into the chart provided and chose different possibilities such as "female with one button" or "all middle schoolers with more than...

Download these free worksheets to sharpen your skills with statistics and probability. Sheets focus on collecting and organizing data, measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode, and range), and probability.

Test your knowledge of working with data by taking this twenty question multiple-choice practice test. Use a graphing calculator to help with any graphing problems and check your answers at any given time throughout the test.

Analyze categorical data to find some trends.

An introductory lesson in probability for students in grades three to five. The concepts presented in this lesson are interwoven, over time, into a current unit of study. Students examine closely the "language" of probability as used in...

Determine if a statistical study is a sample study, an experiment, or an observational study. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

This is a quiz with five quick questions to check your knowledge of how to use graphs to understand data. It is self-checking.
