Students use hands-on activities to study statistics. They review the chi-square distribution and expected value. Activities involve discovering calculation a hypothesis, frequency distribution, and probability.

Seventh graders investigate how to make and set up a scatter plot. In this statistics lesson, 7th graders collect data and plot it. They analyze their data and discuss their results.

Students evaluate equations and identify graphs. In this statistics instructional activity, students identify plotted points on a coordinate plane as having a positive, negative or no correlation. They complete basic surveys, plot their...

High schoolers engage in a lesson plan about finding information from the grocery store to put into data that can be measured. The data is found in advertisements and food labels. They plan the cost of a party when using the unit cost of...

Students explore the concept of percentages. For this math lesson, students throw paper at wastebaskets as if shooting a basketball in a hoop. Students shoot the paper a given amount of times and then calculate their shooting percentage....

Students collect data, graph it and analyze it. In this statistics lesson, students plot their data and calculate the mean, median and mode explaining how it relates to the data. They define the ways to find the mean, median and mode.

Seventh graders collect data and make predictions. In this geometry lesson, 7th graders work in tiers collecting data and plotting it. They make inferences and predictions about their collected data.

Students see that there are mathematical rules that can affect our use of the English language. Calculate the probability of picking any letter at random from a piece of English literature.

Students investigate qualitative and quantitative data. In this statistics lesson, students gather data on heights and weights of people and graph the distribution. Students discuss the differences between qualitative and quantitative data.

Probability prevails in this assignment as youngsters determine the probability of finding a blue pen in a cereal box when they can come in blue, green, yellow, or red. Learners set up a simulation to determine the outcome of compound...

Seventh grade statisticians randomly select five states and then determine the mean area. The class then works together to create a dot plot of their results. 

Students compute mean, median and mode and compare mean, median and mode to a real-world application to identify their practical uses. They apply mean, median and mode to real-world statistical data. Finally, students organize data into...

Pupils reason mathematically as they solve problems dealing with probability of an even occurring. In this probability instructional activity, students differentiate between different rankings of candidates running for leadership. They...
