A Statistical Study on the Letters of the Alphabet
Learners use a book or magazine to research the use of letters. They complete a worksheet and compare their results.
Curated OER
Math Can Be Mean!
Fifth graders are introduced to the topic of means. Calculating the mean, mode and median, they describe what each set of numbers tell and do not tell about the data. They use a line graph to practice finding the mean. They also use...
Curated OER
Hooked On Problem Solving
Fourth graders use properties of operations and problem-solving strategies to do mental calculations, and look for patterns in the solutions. They create an array, using each of the digits 1-9 exactly once to form addition problems...

Kansas Foods A Data and Probability Investigation
Students study a number of food products and anticipate which are derived from Kansas crops. They make a list of words associated with the food stuffs and graph the results.
Curated OER
"The Giver" by Lois Lowry
Young scholars predict results, design a model, and carry out trials to determine probability based on their experimentation.
Curated OER
Take A Chance Or Two
A two-part lesson immerses young statisticians in the concept of probability. On the first day, will conduct experiments with a two-colored coin and learn how to write probabilities as fractions, ratios, and percentages. In the second...
Curated OER
What are the Odds
Students predict the-outcome of an event. In this algebra lesson plan, students compare and contrast the probability of an event occurring. They calculate the odds of a simple event and make estimation.
Pennsylvania Department of Education
Equally Likely and Unequally Likely Outcomes
Students explore probability. In this statistics/probability lesson plan, students compare experimental and theoretical probability and use experimental probability to make predictions and conjectures. Students explore the...
Curated OER
What Are The Chances
Students calculate the probability of an event occurring. In this probability lesson, students differentiate between independent, dependent or compound events. They find the range of the data.
Curated OER
"My Little Sister Ate One Hare" by Bill Grossman
Students understand, use, and compute basic probability.
Curated OER
"Socrates and the Three Little Pigs" by Mitsumasa Anno
Students gain an understanding of probability and make reasonable estimations.
Curated OER
"Colors" a poem by Shel Silverstein
Students collect data, graph it, and use the data to find measures of central tendencies, and find probabilities.
Curated OER
Compound Events: Independent and Dependent
In this probability worksheet, 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
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.
Curated OER
Why NP Min?
Students calculate the normal distribution. For 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
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 plan, students solve problems using permutations and combinations. They compare the formula for permutation to that of...
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, students plant tulip bulbs and use graph paper to begin graphing data on the growth of the tulip.
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 lesson, students define and examine conditional probability. They test each statement for a true statement or a false statement, based on the sample size.
Curated OER
Who Does the Lottery Benefit?
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...
Curated OER
New Cars? Selecting and Financing
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...
