Develop probability distributions from simulations. Young mathematicians use simulations to collect data. They use the data to draw graphs of probability distributions for the random variable in question.

Given populations of the five Northwestern states, learners create a circle graph. Using the data and the pie chart, they make comparisons between the populations of the states. Finally, the pupils determine how the chart will change...

Do some interpretive modeling. Class members watch three examples of interpreting key features of a graph of a quadratic to find solutions to a real-world problem. Learners review how to find the key features on a graph using technology...

The more rectangles, the better the estimate. Using the interactive, pupils explore estimating the area under a curve using left-hand sums. Learners respond to challenge questions on how to get better estimates using the same technique.

Deal me in! Elementary and middle school classes will love this selection of math games, all involving a deck of cards. From fractions to exponents to rounding up and down, the games cover such a variety of skills that your classroom...

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...

Students create a budget. In this estimation and rounding lesson, students create a budget for a painting job. They must make sure that they come out with a profit.

Young scholars investigate how to estimate the age and size of turtles, and examine variability in scientific data. They read an informational handout, identify the parts of the shell, measure the shell and estimate the age, and record...

First graders practice rounding 4 digit numbers using place value concepts. In this estimating sums and differences instructional activity, 1st graders explore clustering, rounding, and front end estimation as methods for rounding decimals.
