Students explore the process of the production of statistical information.  In this statistical analysis lesson, students design, process and report on a survey of their own creation.  Additionally, the...

Students explore probability.  In this statistics/probability lesson plan, students compare experimental and theoretical probability and use experimental probability to make predictions and conjectures.  Students explore the...

Young scholars calculate the probability of an event occurring. In this statistics lesson, students calculate the outcome using combination and permutation. They differentiate between-theoretical and experimental probability.

Students 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 events.

Students explore natural elements by participating in a bingo activity. In this water usage lesson, students discuss the importance of clean water and complete worksheets based on water shortage statistics. Students utilize flashcards to...

Students explore Earth science by participating in a weather identification activity. In this scientific instrument lesson plan, students identify several weather related tools such as the weather vane, thermometer and rain gauge....

Young scholars describe statistics by conducting a class cooking activity. In this ketchup lesson plan, students conduct a class survey based on ketchup consumption habits by young scholars. Students utilize tomatoes, water and a bottle...

Middle schoolers examine statistics by completing a skateboard measuring activity. In this flex lesson, students define what skateboard "flex" refers to and identify the proper method of measuring flex by conducting an experiment with...

Students use the internet to gather a minimum of thirty pieces of data. Students create box and whisker graphs, and stem and leaf plots from the information. They calculate mean, median, mode, and range. Students write a summary and...

Pupils multiply whole numbers by fractions. They see one way that decimals apply to the real world, and possibly consider more.

Children count how many of an activity they can do in a row, such as ball tossing and record the date and count. Children track over a period of time and graph results.

Students measure their pulse rates and place the number on the board. They arrange the numbers in order and discuss the differences between isolated facts and data. Students explore websites that relate to data analysis and report their...

Ninth graders assess the accuracy and reliability of current survey data and how it is represented. They design a survey, collect data, and use technology to analyze the data and present the results. Students examine scatter plots and...

Twelfth graders find the mean, median, and modes of stacks of Lego blocks, They search in newspapers for real life applications of them. They present oral reports on what they have learned.

Here's a TI step by step guided lesson on matrices. The class enters data into the TI calculator about movie ticket sales and uses matrices as a problem solving tool. They add and multiply matrices to determine profit.

Two real-world activities to practice adding, subtracting and multiplying matrices to problem solve. Data from several Pro football quarterbacks is used in one activity to make some predictions based on their stats. Then the class takes...

Compare different random sampling types using an archaeological setting. Scholars collect data from an archaeological plot using simple random samples, stratified random samples, systematic random samples, and cluster random samples....

How high can your pupils jump? Learners design an experiment to answer this question. After collecting the data, they create box plots and scatter plots to analyze the data. To finish the lesson, they use the data to draw conclusions.

Investigate the meaning of a sample proportion using this hands-on activity. Scholars collect data and realize that the larger the sample size the more closely the data resembles a normal distribution. They compare the sample proportion...

Odd or even—fifty-fifty chance? Pupils first conduct an experiment rolling a pair of dice to generate data in a probability lesson. It goes on to introduce mutually exclusive and non-mutually exclusive events, and how to use the...

The more you text, the less you study. Have classes test this hypothesis or another question related to text messages. Using real data, learners use technology to create a scatter plot and calculate a regression line. They create a dot...

Reaction rates vary between your dominant and nondominant hand ... or do they? Young scholars conduct an experiment collecting data to answer just that. After collecting data, they calculate the p-value to determine if the difference is...

It is hard to determine whether there is a relationship with the categorical data, because the numbers are so different. Working with a familiar two-way table on super powers, the class determines relative frequencies for each...

Middle schoolers explore and design ways to collect data through simulations and random samples. They perform two experiments to determine the answers to various probability problems, and present the data/graphs in the form of a...
