Make sure pupils have the skills to move on to the second half of the module with a mid-module assessment task. The formative assessment instrument checks student learning before moving on to the rest of the lessons in the unit.

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...

Students 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...

For this phone button boggle worksheet, students identify the number of math words they can find on a phone keypad according to given directions.  This one-page worksheet contains one problem.  Answers are provided.

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...

Second graders ask questions and design an experiment to explore different spinners in "The Leap Frog" board game. They conduct their experiment, collect information and interpret the results using a graph.

Fourth graders participate in a math game that involves practicing their equivalent fraction skills in the advanced multiplication stage seven. They assess their ability skills of equivalent fractions to match twenty seven dominoes on...

Students play a game to realize the rules of signs.

Students explore natural elements by participating in a bingo activity. In this water usage lesson, students discuss the importance of clean water and complete worksheets based on water shortage statistics. Students utilize flashcards to...

Students play a memory game as they explore reasoning. In this algebra activity, students identify concepts using pictures and words. They model real life scenarios using hands on manipulatives.

In this frequency histograms worksheet, students examine bar graphs, histograms and tables.  They identify the model of information that best matches the statistics.  This three-page worksheet cotnains two multiple-choice...

In this math worksheet, young scholars find the mean, median, and mode for each set of numbers. Then they apply the methods to the word problems.

Students practice identifying points on a coordinate plane, creating charts, and calculating ratios. In groups, students play a "battleship" game where they determine the location of their own fleet and attempt to find the location of...

Middle schoolers multiply whole numbers by fractions. They see one way that decimals apply to the real world, and possibly consider more.
