Fifth graders research and record statistics on the economy of an assigned state. They create a spreadsheet in Excel to report the data and a 3D Pie graph using the Chart Wizard in Excel to represent their states' data.

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.

Second graders, using two dice, participate in a car race game called Cars on the Curve. They predict which car wins the game and records it in their Data Diary.

Young scholars develop strategies to find equivalent decimals. In this equivalent decimals lesson plan, students participate in a variety of decimal games to find equivalent decimals.

Students are introduced to the importance of using place value in number systems. They view a video, play games, explore websites and research the pay scale of three jobs that interest them.

Fourth graders construct data graphs on the Microsoft Excel program. In this statistics lesson, 4th graders formulate questions and collect data. Students represent their results by using Excel.

Students predict and estimate the number of moose shot by people between the years of 1986-1990. They analyze data and statistics, construct bar graphs, and conduct research on the Alaskan moose.

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...

Students explore the concept of probability. In this probability activity, students use random number generators to determine probabilities of events. Students discuss if certain probable events are fair. Students determine fair ways to...

Students participate in games to explore measurement and statistical concepts. They measure distances using standard and nonstandard units and record their measurements in varous tables and use descriptive statistics to report their...

Young scholars participate in a game with M&M's to be introduced to percents and ratios. Individually, they estimate and record the number of candies they believe the bag holds and the amount of each colored candy. They open the...

Class members are introduced to probability using terms such as impossible, unlikely, likely, and certain. Numbers between zero and one are associated with the descriptions of probability. Pupils find the likelihood of chance experiments...

Students explore probability by participating in an experimental activity. In this number statistics lesson, students collaborate in groups in which they move a game piece around a board. Students calculate their probability of landing...

How many different interpretations of the mean are there? Scholars place numbers on a number line and determine the mean. They interpret the mean as the average value and as the balance point.

Learners define mode, median and mean, and perform mathematical operations to determine these 3 terms. In this statistics/math lesson, students practice memory strategies to help distinguish between mode, median, and mean. Learners apply...

Understanding of probability will probably increase with the use of a refined resource. Pupils learn to distinguish between dependent and independent events as they calculate the probabilities of these types of events in various...

Learners participate in a variety of activities to understand statistics. They collect and interpret data. Also students distinguish the difference between a population and a sample. They make inferences and create arguments using data.

Eighth graders discover the important role statistics play in sports and that appropriate data must be collected to do a statistical analysis. Students practice calculating statistics by charting a professional player of their choice.

Learners use a book or magazine to research the use of letters. They complete a worksheet and compare their results.

Seventh graders investigate the concept of probability. They use the game of hangman to create engagement and context for conducting the lesson. They create a spreadsheet with data that is given. Students make predictions based on data.

Learners participate in a lesson plan to comprehend the concept of probability while rolling dice. They recognize patterns while making observations and recording the data for each roll. Students also review place values while playing a...

Students practice creating wikis. In this wiki lesson, students create a wiki about any math topic that they know nothing about. Students learn about their topic and create a wiki that explains the math topic in detail.

Students calculate the probability of a desired outcome based upon a statistically significant number of discrete events (i.e. endgame free-throw attempts). They participate in an online simulation of basketball free throws.

Students use a professional basketball team's data and graph it on a coordinate plane. They draw a line of regression and finding its equation. They access a website containing statistics for the Houston Rockets basketball team to solve...
