A good lesson doesn't just grow on trees! Help your classes understand the concept of a stem-and-leaf plot using an interactive lesson. Learners first create a stem-and-leaf plot from a set of data by dragging the values to the...

Teach the concept of simple random sampling through an interactive lesson. Learners explore the concept by considering the strength of sampling methods. Size of the samples varies also as individuals determine which methods lead to the...

Explore the strengths and weaknesses of box-and-whisker data display. An interactive lesson asks learners to create a box-and-whisker plot from a set of data. Challenge questions focus on determining what types of conclusions they can...

How is a mean affected by changes in data? A well-designed animation allows individuals to manipulate data and watch the effect on the mean. Challenge questions help guide users to conclusions about outliers and skew within data.

There's nothing normal about an extraordinary resource. Scholars change the dimensions of a normal distribution using a slider interactive. Determining the area under the graph gives probabilities for different situations.

What does it mean to take the mean of the mean? An easy-to-use interactive has users adjust the mean ages of different samples. Finding the average of these sample means gives an estimate of the population mean.

Residual plots let you find the perfect line of best fit. As users adjust the points on a scatter plot and a possible line of best fit, the interactive automatically changes the residual plot. This change allows them to see connections...

It is not as difficult as herding cats. The short interactive provides a group of kittens to sort according to their colors. Pupils determine the mode of the number of kittens by color. The questions continue with other numbers of...

Generate stacks of money. Given bills of different denominations, pupils stack them based on their values. The learners figure out which value is the mode of the data and determine whether the data is unimodal, bimodal, or multimodal.

Let the means live in harmony. With lengths representing the values of a small data set, learners compare the arithmetic mean to the harmonic mean. The pupils determine which value is the most accurate representation of the average of...

See how your data stacks up. Pupils stack crates of oranges in increasing order, creating a simple bar graph. Using the graph, individuals determine measures of center and describe the shape of the distribution. Scholars determine what...

What is the height of school clubs? Learners use sliders to calculate the coefficient of variation for three different school groups. Using the calculations, class members compare the variation in the heights of the groups.

Use variable value sliders to understand variance. The interactive shows four whole numbers, their mean and deviation. Using the information, pupils find the variance of the numbers and respond to question related to the understanding of...

In this math and sports worksheet, students read and review the statistics from the performance of teams in the Cricket World Cup. They identify which team played the most matches and who won the most. Students also compare the...

Eighth graders discover the important role statistics play in sports and that appropriate data must be collected to do a statistical analysis. Students practice calculating statistics by charting a professional player of their choice.

This unit encourages students to assess the validity of a set of statements and then plan and carry out investigations to find out whether the statements are true. Students then carry out statistical investigations of their own.

Students will compare the data for different locations that they select and investigate trends over the course of a number of years. This will give the students an opportunity to apply statistical measures (mean, median,mode) to data...

Learners use a book or magazine to research the use of letters. They complete a worksheet and compare their results.

Students access web site and record various population statistics pertaining to a county in the USA of their choice. They use this data to set up and solve ratios. They compare data to make meaning of the numbers.

Students conduct an experiment to determine the frequency of pulling various parts of an ancient Greek sculpture out of a hat.

Students use the concepts in statistics to make decisions. They calculate the mean, median and mode. They compare one firefighter against another and analyze the data. They share their information with the class.

Students explore the concepts of mean and variance. They observe properties of materials to their basic atomic or molecular structure. Students use spreadsheet software to record, tabulate and analyze collected information.

Students practice creating wikis. In this wiki lesson, students create a wiki about any math topic that they know nothing about. Students learn about their topic and create a wiki that explains the math topic in detail.

Students practice the concepts behind fractions, decimals, and percents by using sports statistics on baseball cards. In this baseball math lesson, students use fractions and estimation to calculate statistics. Students calculate batting...
