In this statistics worksheet, students solve 5 frequency problems. In four of the problems, the frequency table is provided and students construct one relative frequency table, one cumulative frequency table, and two cumulative relative...

In this statistics worksheet, young scholars find mean, median, and mode for 3 problems. They find the mean of summarized data in 2 problems.

Explore punctuality by participating in a daily class activity. They will choose a classmate to be the attendance monitor for a week and he or she becomes responsible for keeping track of who has missed school on which days. They create...

Run a simulated airplane manufacturing plant with your pupils as the builders! Learners build Lego airplane models and collect data on the rate of production, comparing the number produced to the number defective. Using linear...

Water, water, everywhere? Each pupil first uses an Internet program to select 50 random points on Earth to determine the proportion of its surface covered with water. The class then combines data to determine a more accurate estimate.

To understand how biased data is misleading, learners analyze survey data and graphical representations. They use that information to design their own plans to collect information on consumer thoughts about Chocolicious cereal. 

Would you rely on a fortune cookie for advice? The lesson plan first requires future statisticians to categorize 100 fortune cookie fortunes into four types: prophecy, advice, wisdom, and misc. The lesson plan goes on to have learners...

How do you summarize data that cannot be averaged? Using an exploratory method, learners complete a two-way frequency table on super powers. The subject matter builds upon 8th grade knowledge of two-way tables. 

How do you find the area of an irregular shape? Class members calculate the area of an irregular shape by finding the area of a random sampling of the shape. Individuals then utilize a confidence interval to improve accuracy and use a...

Youngsters sort M & M's by color. They graph the M&M's by color on a graph. This classic lesson is a wonderful way to introduce the concept and technique of graphing to young mathematicians. Pairs of kids can make up their own...

Here is a very clever way of teaching young mathematicians the concept of probability. A spinner is made that has two outcomes, yes and no. A chart is made that has two columns that are labeled Correct and Incorrect. The teacher asks a...

Your statisticians examine the characteristics of conditional probability and the probability of simultaneous independent events. They perform computer activities to find probabilities for simple compound events. They examine the...

Youngsters count, classify, and estimate quantities using buttons after a read aloud of The Button Box by Margarette S. Reid. They discuss the difference between guessing and estimating. Based on an experiment, they predict the...

Students are presented with the problems of percentages and focus upon numbers in contrast to 100. They calculate problems with money and are engaged with the use of games as a teaching tool. Students also interpret data as presented in...

From z-scores to probability. Learners put together the concepts from the previous lessons to determine the probability of a given range of outcomes. They make predictions and interpret them in the context of the problem.

Use mathematics and simulations to investigate car crashes. IScholars test hypotheses involving car crashes. They collect, analyze, and display data from computer simulations to support or refute their hypotheses.

Introduce line plots, show examples of tables, graphing on a number line, and engage in a class discussion. Share the process by which statistical data is organized and displayed on a number line. Examples and worksheets are included....

Take a central look at data. The differentiated lesson plan provides activities for pupils to calculate central tendencies. Scholars begin choosing three central tendency activities from a Tic-Tac-Toe board. Learners then choose from...

High schoolers log their computer usage hours. They determine the mean, median, mode and standard deviation of the collected data. They make a frequency histogram of the grouped data, both on graph paper, and on the TI 83+ graphing...

Students define normal distribution as it relates to the bell curve. In this statistics lesson, students use the central tendencies of mean, median and mode to solve problems. They plot their data and draw conclusion from the graphs.

Pupils test the hypotheses using p values. In this statistics instructional activity, students define and examine conditional probability. They test each statement for a true statement or a false statement, based on the sample size.

Students identify the mean, quartiles and range of a boxplot. In this statistics lesson, students identify cooperative boxplot as it relates to the data. They make conjectures about students grade distribution.

Students identify the standard deviation. In this statistics lesson, students find the mean distribution and calculate the percent of deviation from the mean. They observe this change on the Ti calculator.

Young scholars analyze the graph of a distribution. In this statistics activity, students define skewed or mound shape distribution as they investigate the data behind the graph. They define and plot outlier as well as normal probability.
