Run, gingerbread men! During the board game, four gingerbread men race to discover which one finishes first. Scholars take note of the game's results using a tally chart and bar graph for all to observe the frequency of the winning...

Seventh graders investigate theoretical and experimental probability by conducting a series of experiments with multiple trials, comparing results, combining results and making conclusions. They express probabilities as fractions,...

How likely is it to draw a blue marble? Pupils find the likelihood of events and connect that to the probability of the event. They find the probabilities of simple events and show their probabilities on a scale.

Want a leg up on the competition? Show classes how to use mathematics to their advantage when playing games. Learners calculate probabilities to determine a reasonable scoring strategy for a game. 

In this geometric probability activity, students solve and complete 12 different problems that include determining the outcomes of various types of probability. First, they use a tree diagram or an area model to compute the desired...

MAD about statistics? In the seventh chapter of an eight-part seventh-grade workbook series, learners develop probability models and use statistics to draw inferences. In addition, learners play games and conduct experiments to determine...

Wanna take a chance on which game is best? The resource provides three games of chance using multiple types of games. Games range from coin toss to cards. Choosing a type of game, pupils determine what wins and enter the theoretical...

Check out this thematic unit, based on the game of baseball. Learners investigate numbers and number relations as they become familiar with some of the basic terminology associated with the game. They focus their attention on actual...

Practice basic addition facts and measuring skills. In this addition and measurement lesson, students are provided with drywall tape and work in groups of four at a long table. Partners take turns generating addends and marking the...

Problem solve using exponents. Pupils read One Grain of Rice: A Mathematical Folktale and write powers to represent amounts from the story.They compare actual solutions to their predictions and play a game to practice using...

Here is an excellent lesson plan on solving subtraction word problems using fractions and mixed numbers. Learners complete three activities that will help them to explore and better-understand the world of mixed numbers. Fraction bars...

Using the provided tracing number worksheet, a pair of kindergartners will practice their adding skills. Player A will roll two die, add the sum, and then trace the sum on the worksheet. Player B will take a turn and do the same. The...

Designing a game is the focus of this probability lesson. Groups develop and build a unique game, including directions for how to play, a calculation of the expected value of winning, and a personal reflection. The plan provides a...

In this game students move around a game board by spinning a spinner and moving to the next place on the board whose shape matches the one they spun.

In this addition worksheet, students play an addition game using a number cube, spinner, 8 counters and game pieces. Students add the sum of a rolled number and spinner number to move forward.

In this lesson plan, Dynamic Data Range, Mode, Median, and Mean, students play a game while figuring range, mode, median, and mean. Students spin for their task, figure the mode, mean, median or range of a row of numbers and gain a space...

Sixth graders identify and measure right, acute, obtuse, and straight angles. For this geometry lesson, 6th graders review the definition of each angle and are shown examples of each specific angle. Students use toothpicks, gumdrops, and...

In this probability learning exercise, students solve 16 problems pertaining to probability and likely, less likely, certain and impossible outcomes.

In this statistics instructional activity, 3rd graders answer questions about different graphs including bar graphs, picture graphs, line graphs, and more. Students complete 20 multiple choice questions.

A presentation demonstrates the basics of probability. Learners consider a variety of scenarios with dice, as well as picking certain-colored balls out of a bag in order to become familiar with this concept. The PowerPoint is brief, but...

Middle and high schoolers have a clarified definition of probability, they explore about outcomes in probability and how to calculate experimental probability. They use computers to learn about probability.

Seventh graders simulate probability experiments. Using a graphing calculator, 7th graders design, conduct, and draw conclusions from simulations or probability experiments. Students construct frequency tables and compare the...

Middle schoolers explore independent probability. They identify mutually exclusive outcomes. This two-page worksheet contains four multi-step problems.

Middle schoolers apply properties of probability to the real world. In this probability lesson, learners simulate the construction of empirical distribution. They collect and analyze data using central tendencies.
