Hands-on investigation of Riemann sums becomes possible without intensive arithmetic gymnastics with this interactive lesson plan. Learners manipulate online graphing tools to develop and test theories about right, left, and...

Twelfth graders determine probabilities of real-life events such as life expectancies, winning a lottery ticket and the break-even premium. They apply how life-expectation tables are used to estimate the probability that an individual...

Students practice and determine expected values of experiments as well as distributions of experiments. They find the area of rectangles and circles and determine elementary probabilities. Probability exercises begin with quarters and...

Students investigate the principles of probability that can be used to predict hereditary traits.

Young scholars list the sample space of an experiment. In this statistics lesson, students calculate the number of favorable outcome in a given sample space. They define and apply mutually exclusive events versus not mutually exclusive...

Students utilize the interactive spinner and write down the probability of each color in reduced fraction form in the "Experimental Results" column, labeling each color and its corresponding probability in the same order as in the...

Students investigating the concept of probability practice the concept using a variety of different example problems. The lesson is delivered in a question and answer format. The frequency of answers is recorded in a data table for...

First graders practice probability by playing various games associated with song There Was an Old Lady.

For this home activity worksheet, 3rd graders will focus on probability. Students will complete a chart of colors using a bag of M &Ms.

Students are taught to search the internet for statistics concepts on sports. In this probability instructional activity, students collect data and use the calculator to graph and analyze their data. They graph and make predictions about...

Young scholars explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson plan, students use a applet that demonstrates chaos and probability of spread for a forest fire. Young scholars also play applets about the Game of Life and...

Sixth graders use a video and the internet to determine whether a game is fair or unfair. In this probabilities lesson plan, 6th graders determine the fairness of a game based on the probabilities of the outcomes.

Students examine the probability of an event. In this probability lesson, students determine whether it is likely that an event will occur in coin flipping activities. They work with two and four coins, and one die in three different...

Fifth graders practice calculating probability using statistics.  In this math statistics lesson, 5th graders discover the meanings of the terms unlikely, likely, eventually, and chance, when asked to answer questions about the...

Students define and differentiate between experimental and theoretical probability. In this statistic lesson, students play the game "Monty Hall" and use probability to come up with the best strategies to play the game.

Learners solve theoretical probability problems. In this algebra activity, students apply the concept of probabilities to solving real life scenarios. They collect data and graph it using experimental probability.

Students identify how to use a scatterplot to compare two sets of data to determine if they are related. Then they identify and describe the definition of regression line (the "line of best fit"). Students also identify how scientists...

Second graders explore probability by playing a drawing game with dice. After they roll a die, they draw a tree diagram to illustrate each of the possible outcomes.

Students apply central tendencies to given data. In this statistics instructional activity, students calculate the mean, median, and mode as it relates to their data. They collect data and graph it while identifying the way the numbers...

First graders, after exploring agricultural products that can be considered snack foods, experience the concepts of ratio and probability. They analyze and record their class experience after dealing with the following snacks: peanut...

Eighth graders play a game to solve problems. In this exponents and scientific notations lesson, 8th graders play a game in small groups to move colored disks from location A to location C. Students identify recursive patterns to solve...
