What's Your Favorite Chocolate Bar?
Young scholars complete a math survey. In this math graphs lesson plan, students complete a survey about their favorite candy bars. Young scholars create different kinds of graphs using Microsoft Excel to show their results.
Curated OER
Compound Events: Independent and Dependent
In this probability instructional activity, students analyze word problems to determine for part one the independent events and for part two the dependent events. There are 6 questions.
Curated OER
Entrance Ticket
Pupils collect data on different events and word problems. In this algebra lesson, students use a table to organize their data. They graph their coordinate pairs on a coordinate plane and make predictions.
Curated OER
Students use fundamental counting principle to compute combinations and permutations
Students define Pascal's triangle and special notations used to represent nth elements. In this geometry lesson, students solve problems using permutations and combinations. They compare the formula for permutation to that of Pascal's...
Curated OER
Why NP Min?
Students calculate the normal distribution. In this statistics lesson, students use the normal distribution to estimate binomial distributions. They define when to use NP and n(1-p) to make approximations.
Curated OER
Binomial Distribution
Students explore the concept of binomial distribution. In this binomial distribution lesson, students perform binomial distributions on a number of problems in this lecture lesson. Students find the mean and variance of binomial...
Curated OER
Tulip Graphing
Students create a graph of tulip growth. In this data analysis lesson plan, students plant tulip bulbs and use graph paper to begin graphing data on the growth of the tulip.
Curated OER
Facing Life's Challenges
Students analyze divination and carry out experiments using a probability model. In this probability lesson plan, students review information about divination and predictions in various cultures. Students set up experiments to test...

Advanced Algebra: Do You Feel Lucky?
Students explore the realm of mathematical probability while playing a game of chance. after constructing paper rockets, they fire it enough times to determine the probabilities of the rocket traveling past a marked distance and of it...
Curated OER
Assessing Normalcy
Students define normal distribution as it relates to the bell curve. In this statistics lesson, students use the central tendencies of mean, median and mode to solve problems. They plot their data and draw conclusion from the graphs.
Curated OER
What is a P-value?
Students test the hypotheses using p values. In this statistics instructional activity, students define and examine conditional probability. They test each statement for a true statement or a false statement, based on the sample size.
