Students complete problems on normal distribution equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students complete 11 problems out of their text book.

Students investigate normal distribution.  In this statistical analysis lesson students investigate the variety of circumstances in which the normal distribution can be used.  Students apply the normal distribution to solve...

Learners are introduced to the concepts of the normal curve, skewness and the standard deviation. They discuss how the normal distribution has been used and misused to support conclusions.

Using the empirical rule for a normal distribution, young statisticians determine the percent of adult women with given heights and weights. They find the percentile rank of a woman of a stated height and find the area under a curve.

Physics masters solve five sliding mass problems. For each, there are a few different values to be determined: normal force, force of friction, acceleration, velocity, coefficient of friction, or net force. Pupils must draw a force...

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.

Do you weigh slightly less when an elevator first starts its descent? The simulation teaches the change in the force based on the acceleration, constant speed, or deceleration of an elevator. Scholars control the mass and acceleration...

In this normal curve areas learning exercise, students follow 6 steps to compute probability regarding possible sample means using a large sample. First, they label the scale with the mean and corresponding standard deviations. Then,...

For this normal curve areas worksheet, students follow 6 steps to compute the probability regarding the values from the population. First, they label x-scale with the mean and corresponding standard deviations and shade the area(s) under...

In this normal curve areas instructional activity, students follow 6 steps to compute the probability regarding the possible sample of proportions using a large sample population. First, they label the Ps-scale with the proportion and...

Balance scales create a strong visual of how an individual prioritizes one's self alongside their commitments to the community, school, and home. Scholars complete a graphic organizer then discuss their findings with their peers. A...

This is a very comprehensive lesson on infant and preschool sexual development. It says only one class period, but I think it could be several days worth of materials to cover. The point of view taken here is from that of being a parent....

Students design a structure capabl;e of holding a textbook. They demonstrate that the weight of a textbook is offset by the normal force exerted on the book by the structure.

What does it mean to be normal in the world of statistics? Pupils first explore the meaning of a normal distribution in the eight-lesson module. They then apply the statistics related to normal distributions such as mean, standard...

All disciplines use data! A seven-lesson unit teaches learners the basics of analyzing all types of data. The unit begins with a study of the shape of data displays and the analysis of a normal distribution. Later lessons discuss the...

Learners engage in six activities to lead them through the process of conducting a thorough analysis of data. Pupils work with calculating standard deviations and z-scores, finding the area under a normal curve, and sampling...

In this normal distribution worksheet, students find probability in four problems using the normal probability distributions.  Students should sketch the curve and shade the region.

Calculators sure come in handy. An AP® Statistics instructional resource provides suggestions for using calculator simulations. It gives activities for adding variances, normal probability plots, and t distributions.

Students identify the shape of a function. In this statistics lesson, students plot the data collected. They analyze their data for positive, negative or no correlation. They find the line of best fit.

Students observe and study mutations. In this mutations instructional activity, students work in groups to complete observation tables of various mutations of the zebra fish embryos. Groups give presentations about their observations.

This thirteen page data analysis worksheet contains a number of interesting problems regarding statistics. The activities cover the concepts of average measurements, standard deviation, box and whisker plots, quartiles, frequency...

Here's a not-so-normal unit on normal heights. Future statisticians anonymously collect class data on female heights, weights, and shoe sizes. They then analyze the data using normal distributions, z-scores, percentiles, and the...

Let's get moving! Newton juniors solve 19 problems using force, speed, and acceleration equations. This is a nifty worksheet that includes a few diagrams and multiple choice selections for each question. It provides the straightforward...

AP® exams don't need to be shrouded in mystery. The 2013 AP® Statistics free-response questions are available for instructors to reference. It includes questions on mean, standard deviation, normal distribution, confidence intervals,...
