Students collect data on different events and word problems. In this algebra instructional activity, students use a table to organize their data. They graph their coordinate pairs on a coordinate plane and make predictions.

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.

Students define Pascal's triangle and special notations used to represent nth elements. In this geometry lesson plan, students solve problems using permutations and combinations. They compare the formula for permutation to that of...

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...

Students create a graph of tulip growth. In this data analysis lesson, students plant tulip bulbs and use graph paper to begin graphing data on the growth of the tulip.

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.

Pupils 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.

Students investigate the pros and cons of the lottery. In this algebra instructional activity, students use the formulas for permutation and combination to test their arguments about the lottery. They collect data about their argument...

Twelfth graders determine probabilities of real-life events such as life expectancies, winning a lottery ticket, and the break-even premium. They deduce what percent of markup is. Students are able to compare terms for financing a car...

Learners learn about the importance and risk that stocks carry within a business. In this financial management lesson, students use role play and case scenario situations to decide what stocks are best for given companies. Based on the...

Students investigate teachers and gender preference. In this statistic lesson, students collect data of teachers calling on students to see if they are calling on one gender more than the other. Students examine the data and draw...

Students explore the concept of line of best fit. In this line of best fit lesson, students find lines of best fit in examples about riding your bike home from school and dentistry. Students find two data points and find the line of best...

Students interpret the stock market. They pick preferable stocks based on price to earnings ratios listed in the quotes. They practice using fractions and decimals to calculate the cost of selling and buying various stocks using...

Students study basic recursion by exploring patterns in the data they generate from two simple probability-based experiments. In the first, students flip a coin to discover how many times they must flip it before it lands on "heads."...

Students explore the concept of linear regression. In this linear regression lesson plan, students do a Barbie bungee activity where they collect linear data. Students plot their data using a scatter plot. Students determine a line of...

Ninth graders study the uses of spectroscopy and the operation of the Hubble space telescope.  In this astronomy lesson students complete a lab activity that includes graphing star color and temperature.

Students solve problems with complex numbers. In this algebra lesson, students factor complex numbers and simplify equations using DeMoivre's Theorem. They add, subtract, multiply and divide using negative roots.

Seventh graders, exploring methods to estimate fractions, take notes on estimating fractions, 7th graders write letters to explain the process of estimating fractions and mixed numbers to someone who does not know the concept. Students...

Students investigate the history of fighter kites and build their own.  For this aeronautics lesson, students discover how other countries utilize fighter kites and where they originated.  Students create their own fighter...

Students study drag and how it affects a parachute in the sky.  In this parachutes lesson students build models and compare their drag. 

Students investigate how weight affects a parachute's rate of fall.  In this investigative lesson students test parachutes, average results and conclude what makes a faster descent.

Students investigate the possibility of different events using combination. In this statistics lesson, students investigate the accuracy of permutations and combinations. They solve problems related to combinations.

Learners identify the shape of a function. In this statistics lesson, students plot the data collected. They analyze their data for positive, negative or no correlation. They find the line of best fit.

Students calculate the equation of the line of best fit. In this statistics instructional activity, students create scatter plots and find the line of best fit going through their data. They make predictions and draw conclusions.
