This lesson focuses on probability, a number between 0 and 1 which describes the likelihood of a certain event. A probability of 0 means that something is impossible; a probability of 1 means that something is certain.

Who's the REAL meat eater here? Let's do some math and find out!

There are seven stepping stones and six people - three on the left facing the three on the right. How is it possible to have the three on the left end up on the right, and vice versa, while everyone was at all times standing on a stone...

The purpose of this lesson is to begin the process of helping students to learn the basic principles of probability. The students will also collect data, interpret data, and determine the fairness of the game rock, paper, scissors.This...

Today we become Gallup Poll central as students take a set of collected data and create a visual representation using the skills that have been taught over the past few lessons.

Operation Independence! Students will now take what they have learned from previous data lessons and put it into action. The students will work in pairs of two to decide on a survey question and then collects classmates' responses to...

Discover how to use stem-and-leaf plots and box-and-whisker plots to visualize data by taking a look at examples and a video lesson.

This site includes questions related to reading and understanding graphs. There are links on this site to lesson plans, benchmarks, and other webpages all of which mostly center about probability and statistics.

This lesson focuses on Combinatorics, a branch of mathematics which is about counting. It includes 5 sections: Factorials, Permutations, Combinations, Combinatorics and Pascal's Triangle, and Combinatorics and Probability with examples...

This lesson introduces the student to the concept of probability. Students will explore the meaning of theoretical and experimental probability by viewing interactive websites. A lab activity will be performed using cooperative learning...

This is a great math game for students to gain an understanding of experimental probability.

A lesson, practice activity, and teacher resource for exploring permutations and combinations.

This is a beginning lesson on the concept of probability. Through a series of informal comparisons, the student will explore the chances of various outcomes of an event. The student will use vocabulary associated with probability.This...

The students will engage in the process of statistical data comparing data using tables and scatterplots. The students will compare data using measures of center (mean and median) and measures of spread (range). This lesson plan can be...

For this hands-on, technology-rich lesson, students will interpret data. The students will define words involving graphs, create a bar graph using M&M's, and post information from their findings on the internet. The students will...

Taking that internship in a remote mountain lab might not have been the best idea. Pulling that lever with the skull symbol just to see what it did probably wasn't so smart either. But now is not the time for regrets because you need to...
