Seventh graders explore random sampling by estimating the number of e's on the newspaper. They explain the possible error sources for this type of sampling, and compare the accuracy of sampling a small and large population. This is a...

Here is a turnkey lesson that walks young statisticians through the development and uses of conditional probability. From dice games to surveys, Venn diagrams to frequency tables, the class learns how a given can effect the overall...

Statistics are more than just numbers—they can give you important information about a set of data. Pupils learn how to find the mean, median, and mode of a data set. They also find the next score to reach a desired mean.

Some say that you can make statistics say whatever you want. It is important for learners to recognize these biases. Pupils learn about sample bias and the different types of samples.

Knowledge of statistics and probability can increase your advantage when playing games. The activity asks learners to analyze the game of MasterMind to determine the number of possible codes. They also examine different variations of the...

Teach statistics by analyzing raisins. A thorough activity provides lesson resources for five levels to include all grades. Younger pupils work on counting and estimation, mid-level learners build on their understanding of the measures...

A change in a parameter can end in overpopulation. The resources gives pupils the opportunity to control the parameters of rabbits and wolves in a natural setting. Using the set parameters, the simulation runs and displays the population...

Grab your classes' attention with a video presentation of a problem to solve. Young scholars develop a plan to predict the time it takes to fill a tank with water. Video footage provides the statistics they need to make their conclusions.

Have a popping good time. Using probability and statistics skills, learners determine which type of popcorn to buy based on the percentage of kernels popped. After analyzing corn and popcorn sales to make a prediction of future sales,...

Third graders explore the idea of formulating a hypothesis and designing an experiment to test the hypothesis.

Students design charts, tables, graphs, and pictographs to analyse the types of snacks in a bag.

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.

In this statistics activity, students plot and graph their data, then interpret the data using the correct form of graphs. There are 3 detailed questions with an answer key.

For this statistics worksheet, students solve word problems using statistics and probability. They solve a riddle identifying the probability of the event occurring.

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.

In this data and statistics worksheet, students find the mean, median, mode, and range of 4 different sets of data. Next, students solve 1 word problem where they find the mean.

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.

In this statistics worksheet, students solve and complete 2 different problems that include using statistics. First, they use the scatterplot shown to determine the value of x that best matches the expression. Then, students determine...

In this statistics worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 2 different multiple choice problems related to statistics. First, they determine the order of operations that would best results in the illustrated matrix. Then, students...
