Students use the concepts in statistics to make decisions. They calculate the mean, median and mode. They compare one firefighter against another and analyze the data. They share their information with the class.

What are the different ways that people can invest in their human capital for a better future? Pupils participate in an engaging hands-on activity and analyze data regarding unemployment, the ability to obtain an education, and median...

Collect and analyze data. Pupils graph their data and model with it to solve real life problems. They use logic and deductive reasoning to draw conclusions.

Students test Leonardo da Vinci's view of the human body by measuring various body parts using a tape measure. They create a data table and a scatter plot and then analyze and interpret the results using a graphing calculator.

Students make a box and whiskers plot using the TI-73 graphing calculator. Each student would have their own calculator but they would work in small groups of two or three to help each other enter the data and make the plots.

Students find the proper factors for numbers one through fifty using either the divisibility laws or TI-82. They determine the sum of the proper factors for each number. If the sum of the factors is less than the number itself, then this...

Pupils build a stack of pennies as tall as possible, recording the number of pennies they are able to stack before the tower falls. Then, sharing answers, they determine the average number of pennies that could be stacked.

For this statistics lesson, 10th graders play a game until there is one winner. They move piles around until someone is left with one counter and is the winner. This game represents the odds of someone being left with the last counter.

Students calculate the chance of an event occurring. In this statistics lesson, students use combination and permutation to calculate the probability of an event occurring. They differentiate between theoretical and experimental...

Students collect data on population growth. In this statistics lesson, students graph their data and make predictions. They find the linear regression and the best fit line.

Students collect data using the CBL. In this statistics lesson, students predict the type of graph that will be created based on the type of activity the person does. The graph represents heart rate depending the level of activity.

Second graders investigate the skill of graphing data by using candy bars to create context for the lesson. They use technology for graphing and organizing information like a spreadsheet. The lesson includes a resource link to aid in the...

Students investigate the concept of probability. They use example problems in order to measure the likelihood of various outcomes. The instructional activity includes dialogue to be used by the teacher during direct instruction. They...

Students form a conclusion using statistical data. In this statistical data lesson, students collect and analysis data to form a conclusion about what day of the week most babies are born.

Students identify the different central tendencies. In this probability instructional activity, students create the correct type of graphs to analyze their data. They make predictions and draw conclusions from their data.

Students identify the mean, median and mode of collected data. In this statistics lesson, students collect, graph and analyze data using central tendencies. They work in groups to collect data on a robot through an obstacle course.

Students collect, graph and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students compare data using different types of graphs. They make predictions, draw conjectures as they analyze bulbs used in a holiday light set.

Students examine and discuss the writing of ratios as fractions and where they can be found in the real world. They complete worksheets and a questionnaire, and calculate the mean, median, and mode scores for the class.

Students see that there are mathematical rules that can affect our use of the English language. Calculate the probability of picking any letter at random from a piece of English literature.

Eighth graders research, collect and interpret data about weather statistics. They record that data on spreadsheets. they create Powerpoint presentations on their individual or group research.

Learners read complex charts, find measures of central tendency, calculate large numbers, create histograms and box plots. They answer questions using the "Fisherman's Copy" of statistics.

Students use a spreadsheet from The Digest of Education Statistics and convert the statistics to percentages, and create a chart of their new data. Students discuss their findings about the disparities in educational spending among...

High schoolers engage in a lesson that is about the concept of data analysis with the use of quadratics. They use a Precalculus text in order to give guidance for independent practice and to serve as a source for the teacher to use. The...

Middle schoolers work with a partner to gather information on a question from two sources using a computer program and the Internet. They also write a report with visuals to air on closed-circuit TV for the school. Use this instructional...
