Students explore the concept of experimental and theoretical probability. In this experimental and theoretical probability lesson, students collect data by conducting a survey of their classmates. Students compare their data and discuss...

Third graders compare experimental results with mathematical expectations of probabilities. They utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan to gain practice with the concept of probability.

In this probability worksheet, students record the outcomes of throwing a dice 20 times and tossing a coin 20 times. They fill in their data and answer 6 questions pertaining to their probability findings. Students can click on the Check...

Ninth graders investigate patterns.  In this first through second grade mathematics lesson, 9th graders read Bat Jamboree and create a pictorial representation of a bat pyramid.  Students use the manipulative pyramid to explore...

Students collect data and analyze it. In this statistics lesson, students make predictions using different outcomes of trials.

In this problem solving worksheet, students determine which spinner will most frequently land on a color choice of a color wheel. In this coloring and multiple choice worksheet, students will answer two questions.

Fourth graders analyze the data in a bar graph, pictograph, line graph, and a chart/table and draw conclusions based on the data. They discuss each type of graph, write questions for each graph, and analyze the data as a class.

Young scholars make their own puzzle grid that illustrates the number of sit-ups students in a gym class did in one minute, then they make a histogram for this same data. Then they title their graph and label the scales and axes and...

Students access prior knowledge of the stock market and how it works. In this buying and selling stocks lesson, students complete worksheets on stocks to understand how the stock market works. Students answer critical thinking questions...

In this stats worksheet, students identify how many ways there are to split 25 pieces of candy in between 3 people. There is a very detailed answer key with this problem.

Students discover the history of hot air balloons by watching one ascent.  In this physics lesson plan, students utilize a Montgolfier Hot Air Balloon from an earlier lesson plan and record the temperature, rate of ascent and the...

Students perform different activities to better explain that the word "Average" has 5 different meanings.

Investigate expected value as a long-run average. The eighth installment of a 21-part module has scholars rolling pairs of dice to determine the average sum. They find aggregate data by working in groups and interpret expected value as...

What constitutes a fair game? Scholars learn about fair games and analyze some to see if they are fair. They extend this idea to warranties and other contexts.

What are the chances? Teach your classes to answer this question using mathematics. The first part of a three-day lesson on determining significance differences in experimental data prompts learners to analyze the data by...

Life's not fair, but dice games should be. After playing a two-person game with a pair of dice, scholars investigate the fairness of the game. They consider the number of possible outcomes using the fundamental counting principle and...

Don't allow your pupils to become outliers! As learners examine normal distributions by calculating z-scores, they compare outcomes by analyzing the z-scores for each. 

A video presentation shows duck-shaped soap that has a $1, $5, $10, $20, or $50 bill in its center. Learners consider different population distribution of the bills to determine a reasonable price for the duck. 

Statistically speaking, the content covers several grades. Featuring all of the statistics typically covered in a college-level Statistics course, the expansive content spans from sixth grade on up to high school. Material...

Work out to Algebra II with the 50-question worksheet that practices different types of functions. Multiple choice questions focus on topics such as rational, radical, and logarithmic functions. The resource comes with a printed answer...

Error does not mean something went wrong! Learners complete a problem from beginning to end using concepts developed throughout the last five lessons. They begin with a set of data, determine a population proportion, analyze their result...

Life's not fair, but decisions can be. The 17th installment of a 21-part module teaches learners about fair decisions. They use simulations to develop strategies to make fair decisions.

Explore the concept of mean, median, and mode with pupils. They estimate the length of a string or the number of M&M's in a jar. Then find the mean, median, and mode of the class' estimates.

How does life evolve? The interactive provides a simulation based on the Game of Life invented by mathematician John Conway. Users can run the applet with the preset rules and settings or adjust them to view whether overpopulation or...
