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...

The 23rd segment in a series of 25 presents random samples from two populations to determine whether there is a difference. Groups determine whether they believe there is a difference between the two populations and later use an...

Work it out — find the average time clients spend at a gym. Pupils use a table of random digits to collect a sample of times fitness buffs are working out. The scholars use their random sample to calculate an estimate of the mean of the...

Class members come up with a hypothesis on the number of decimal digits in the product of two decimals. Learners work in groups to complete several decimal multiplication problems. The results help groups develop a conjecture on the...

Don't just think outside of the box — read outside of it! The 15th lesson in a 22-part unit provides pupils more work with box plots. Learners read the box plots to estimate the five-number summary and interpret it within the context....

In this estimation worksheet, students estimate 7 given fractions to the nearest whole number. Answers are included on page 2.

In this estimation worksheet, students estimate a set of 10 numbers to the nearest 10. A reference website for additional resources is given.

Finding out how to calculate tax and tip is a valuable skill that all young adults should be able to do without a calculator. Learners are given a bill and asked to calculate the tax, tip, and total amount. Calculations can be exact or...

Students participate in a lesson that has the intention of working on estimation skills. They use pumpkins to estimate the number of seeds are inside. They collect data for each pumpkin and compare it to the estimation. Students question...

Eighth graders view pictures that show many objects, estimate amount that they think they saw, and take class data from estimation to find the mean, median, mode, and range for the class.

Here is a good, cross-curricular measurement and estimation lesson. Learners practice measuring paper strips to create an art project. This is a great way to introduce the ruler, and how it used, to your learners.
