Provide some practice showing the work. Pupils work through six free-response questions that require them to show their work. They use their knowledge of statistics to develop solutions to problems within context. Scenarios range from...

Examine statistical data that shows an overlap in responses. The data tallies over 100% and learners interpret this data characteristic. They then create a graph to represent the data.

Middle and high schoolers explore the concept of probability. In this probability activity, learners conduct an experiment with a bag of marbles. Pupils draw marbles from a bag and determine the probability of drawing a particular color...

Students explore number sense by completing a statistical analysis game in class. In this data graphing lesson, students utilize visual references such as colored cubes and tiles to map out the results of an experiment outcome such as a...

In this estimation worksheet, students interpret given data and estimate fish populations. Students write a conclusion of their findings. Afterwards, they determine the probability of given events. This two-page worksheet contains...

Students estimate and then count the number of each color of M&M's in their bag. In this mathematics lesson, students find the experimental probability of selecting each color from the bag. Students create pictographs and bar graphs...

Games and activities are wonderful for igniting interest in nearly any topic. With a pair of dice, your class will practice their basic math and social skills at the same time. Learners battle it out to see who can roll only odds or only...

Students collect data and make predictions. In this probability lesson plan, students perform experiments calculating the chance of an event occurring. They draw conclusion based on their data.

What can math say about natural phenomena? The fifth STEM lesson in this project-based learning series asks collaborative groups to choose a phenomenon of interest and design an experiment to simulate the phenomenon. After collecting...

Middle and high schoolers collect and analyze their data. In this statistics lesson plan, pupils analyze graphs for linear regression as they discuss the relationship of the function to the number of rubber bands and the distance of the...

It is positive that how one performs on the first test relates to their performance on the second test. The three-question assessment has class members read and analyze a scatter plot of test scores. They must determine whether...

Chew on an activity for probability. Given information on the number of gumballs in a gumball machine, scholars consider how likely it is to randomly draw a blue gumball and how many of each color they would draw in 10 trials if the...

Students complete T charts and manipulate numbers using graphs and charts. In this math graphs and charts lesson, students review the concepts of pattern and function. Students then complete practice pages where they manipulate numbers...

Test probability concepts with an activity that asks pupils to first complete a task investigating false positive in medical testing and then to evaluate sample responses to the same task.

Investigate expected value as a long-run average. The eighth installment of a 21-part module has scholars rolling pairs of dice to determine the average sum. They find aggregate data by working in groups and interpret expected value as...

It's completely normal to learn about normal distributions. An engaging lesson has young statisticians collect and analyze data about their classmates as well as players on the school's football team. They determine whether each set of...

Frequency polygons are a different way to represent frequencies over intervals. Pupils take frequencies for intervals of data from a frequency table and plot them as a frequency polygon. Budding mathematicians find information about the...

Ninth graders engage in a lesson that is about the concept of probability using the context of recording data and predicting outcomes. They collect marbles while recording data and graphing it. The graph is analyzed and ideas are...

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.

Students use proportions to estimate the size of populations. They describe the data with using a graph or table of the estimate. Students use descriptive statistics to calculate mean, median, and mode. They also compare and contrast an...

Students, after watching the CYBERCHASE episode, "A Day at the Spa,"represent and count combinations of choices using tree diagrams.

Students explore probability. In this probability lesson, students look at videos and websites where they discover probability facts that can be used in situations. They determine the probability of different events. 

Students create a variety of graphs. They count, sort, and classify M&M's by color and record data on a chart. They use data from the chart to create pictographs, bar graphs and circle graphs. They analyze data and determine...

Learners explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson, students develop an understanding of probability by pulling marbles out of a bag and recording the data. Learners use the recording sheet to discuss the results of...
