Students collect data and make a frequency table, change ratios into percents, and analyze data to make predictions.

High schoolers examine census data to evaluate the number of students of certain ages living at home. This data is then used to determine the need for day care, or other social programs. They use this information to explore social policies.

Students identify the line of best fit. In this statistics lesson, students analyze graphs and plots to identify positive, negative or no correlation. They find the line of best fit for different scatter plots.

Pupils participate in a lesson to comprehend the concept of probability while rolling dice. They recognize patterns while making observations and recording the data for each roll. Students also review place values while playing a game...

Students explore statistics by conducting class demographic surveys. In this graph making lesson, students identify the family members of each classmate, pets they own, and favorite activities. Students organize their statistics and...

Students participate in a variety of activities in order to understand the concept of probability. The students are engaged because of the application of The Multiple Intelligences Theory.

Students challenge "common knowledge" against newly learned estimation strategies and put those strategies into use. They consider variables in estimating different groups of objects and practice skills of representing numbers.

Students examine the distribution of wealth in the US. For this economic distribution lesson, students use math skills to apply real statistics to the students in their classroom making these facts more of a reality.

Pupils analyze the packaging process. For this consumer awareness lesson, students analyze the process of packaging a potato and identify positive and negative ways of packaging. Pupils study statistics on an overhead transparency to...

Young scholars explore the process of the production of statistical information.  In this statistical analysis lesson, students design, process and report on a survey of their own creation. ...

Students calculate the probability of an event occurring. In this statistics instructional activity, students calculate the outcome using combination and permutation. They differentiate between-theoretical and experimental probability.

Twelfth graders find the mean, median, and modes of stacks of Lego blocks, They search in newspapers for real life applications of them. They present oral reports on what they have learned.

Students determine the difference between guessing and making a prediction. They discuss what they could graph using a bag of M&M's. They take a Raw data sample and convert it into a sample. They graph the actual results and combine...

Young scholars investigate ways people cause harm to the environment. In this environmental lesson, students explore a case study on the Internet. Young scholars explore all of the online activities and collect data for a presentation.

Reaction rates vary between your dominant and nondominant hand ... or do they? Young scholars conduct an experiment collecting data to answer just that. After collecting data, they calculate the p-value to determine if the difference is...

Middle schoolers explore and design ways to collect data through simulations and random samples. They perform two experiments to determine the answers to various probability problems, and present the data/graphs in the form of a...

Investigate the meaning of a sample proportion using this hands-on activity. Scholars collect data and realize that the larger the sample size the more closely the data resembles a normal distribution. They compare the sample proportion...

The more you text, the less you study. Have classes test this hypothesis or another question related to text messages. Using real data, learners use technology to create a scatter plot and calculate a regression line. They create a dot...

Two real-world activities to practice adding, subtracting and multiplying matrices to problem solve. Data from several Pro football quarterbacks is used in one activity to make some predictions based on their stats. Then the class takes...

Learners apply their understanding of luck to a probability experiment. They play a game of Pass the Pigs to determine the probability of a specific outcome. Using analysis for their data, pupils declare the measures of center, dot...

How confident are you? Explore the meaning of a confidence interval using class collected data. Learners analyze data and follow the steps to determine a 95 percent confidence interval. They then interpret the meaning of the confidence...
