Twelfth graders use the Internet to research information on NFL players and construct frequency distributions from the data. They calculate the mean, medium and analyze their data.

Students are introduced to histograms, bar graphs, and the concept of class interval. They use an activity and three discussions with supplemental exercises to help students explore how data can be graphically represented (and...

Students develop strategies to organize data while following teacher demonstration. They calculate the mean, median and mode of a data set while determining the relationships between the numbers. They analyze data from tables and double...

Middle schoolers are introduce to the notion of stem-and-leaf plots. They use stem-and-leaf plots to calculate the mean, median, and mode of a set of data. Students use computers to learn about stem-and-leaf plots.

In this business and statistics worksheet, students read real-life business problems, arrange data, and identify the probability method best used to determine the answer. They identify the type of random sample, draw stem-and-leaf plots,...

Ninth graders calculate the average speed of their balsa wood airplane. For this physics lesson, 9th graders build their own airplane and make necessary modifications to to make it fly straight. They interpret distance and time graph...

For this six page series of worksheet, students answer short answer questions about a variety of topics. The six topics covered in this packet are: Experimental Design (4 questions), Probability Distributions (3 multiple choice...

In this scatter plots and line of best fit worksheet, students create scatter plots from given sets of data. They answer questions concerning the scatter plot. Students write the equation of a line, identify the type of correlation...

Students recognize the mathematical connections between fractions and percents. They develop and study graphs to make connections between their data and what it represents. They write about the connections they have discovered.

Students develop an understanding of probability by sorting bags of M & M's by color and recording the results in percents. The data is entered onto a spreasdsheet and graphed.

Second graders use tree diagrams to predict the possible outcomes of coin tosses. The data they collect and graph also help them predict the likelihood of getting heads or tails when tossing coins the next time.

Pupils examine the probability of the various findings in a game and determine the odds of winning. They differentiate between the facts of odds versus probability. Students use higher order thinking skills to explain how a problem is...

Pupils examine the concept of scatter plots. They compare baseball statistics to locate the ones that correlate with winning, and identify the positive, negative, and no correlation in sets of data using MS Excel.

Students define and differentiate between experimental and theoretical probability. In this statistic lesson, students play the game "Monty Hall" and use probability to come up with the best strategies to play the game.

Seventh graders examine force and motion. In this seventh grade mathematics/science lesson, 7th graders collect and analyze data regarding the use of an atlatl to throw a spear. Students describe and analyze the motion which leads to the...

For this gas lab, students use a pressurized soda bottle with a closed end syringe to simulate Boyle's Law. They alter the volume and watch the effects on the pressure of the gas. They plot their data and answer eight post lab questions.

Students investigate why and how popcorn pops. In this gas lesson plan, students observe and make suggestions as to what causes popcorn to pop after observing popped corn and corn kernels. Students mass the kernels before and after...

This helpful lesson explores the probability in tossing a coin and throwing dice. Specifically, it looks at the probability of getting numbers that are significant to the game of craps, assuming that once the math is understood, most...

Pupils study probability and statistics by conducting an experiment, recording their results, and sharing data with classmates.

Fifth graders identify a set of data from a real world problem. In this statistics lesson, 5th graders identify the range, mode, median and mean using some manipulatives. They write words randomizing the letters.

In this probability and graphing worksheet, students solve 8 problems in which data from a cube toss is displayed on a table and graph. Students answer the questions about their results.

In this differentiated whole-group activity activity, students list all the places they visited over the summer, record the places on a flip chart, calculate the distances on a road map and graph the data they collect.

In this probability learning exercise, students solve 8 word problems that pertain to possible outcomes and probability of drawing alphabet letters from a bag.

Pupils determine expected values of experiments and explore distributions of experiments. They guess as to how many times a coin will flip heads in fifty tries. They flip a coin fifty times graphing the results on a histogram. They...
