Eighth graders analyze data from line graphs. They discuss the purpose of line graphs, identify the parts of a line graph, answer questions about various graphs, and complete a worksheet. This lesson includes a script to teach along with.

Young scholars predict results, design a model, and carry out trials to determine probability based on their experimentation.

Students understand, use, and compute basic probability.

Students gain an understanding of probability and make reasonable estimations.

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.

In this probability learning exercise, students answer probability word problems about a pair of dice. Students complete 5 word problems.

In this probability worksheet, students determine a method of placing red and white marbles in two urns in order to maximize the probability that you draw a white marble.  The one page worksheet contains one problem with the solution.

In this probability activity, students use permutation and combination to calculate the number of outcomes. They differentiate between the two. There are 2 questions with an answer key.

You class will read Cucumber Soup by Vickie Leigh Krudwig as an anticipatory set for this lesson on ratios. They make models of the insects in the story and then use them as a source of data for this ratio and proportion lesson. This...
