Patterns in polygons lead to patterns in polynomials. Presented with a series of polygons, individuals create polynomial expressions to represent their patterns. The algebra project consists of nine problems that incorporate polynomial...

Fifth graders study probability of events. They predict outcomes, and participate in hands-on experiments to find the probability of specified events. Afterward, 5th graders write probability of events in fractions and decimals.

Students explore the concept of probabiility and outcome through several decision making activities. Making accurate predictions in daily life including weather forecasting, stock market selections, or job changes are all dependent on...

In this finding probability learning exercise, students use a tree diagram and a grid to discover the probabilities and possible answers. Students answer six problems.

Students collect experimental data and record it on a frequency table. After accessing an Internet coin toss simulation site they discover that repetition of an experiment may result in different outcomes. They identify the mutually...

Students listen to the math problem and discuss. They work alone or in groups to come up with the possible solutions and put their pictures of the bottle arrangements on the wall so that the class can refer to them.

Eleventh graders recognize some, but not all ethical processes (e.g., independent verification, clarifying assumptions, disclosing conflicts of interest) that shape scientific endeavors. Students build awareness of how various sources...

Students investigate the concepts related to the practice of using probability. They review the use of mean, median, and mode within the context of previous instruction. Students predict outcomes and calculate them in small groups. The...

In this probability and statistics worksheet, students work with a family member to determine the number of outcomes in a given situation. The two page worksheet contains four questions. Answers are included.

Third graders explore their addition and subtraction skills. For this number sense lesson, 3rd graders analyze different scoring possibilities for a basketball game. This lesson incorporates the use a video titled "Blossom and...

Sixth graders use a video and the internet to determine whether a game is fair or unfair. For this probabilities lesson plan, 6th graders determine the fairness of a game based on the probabilities of the outcomes.

Young scholars discuss the possible traffic signals that may be observed on the way to a field trip. They record data on the trip, and analyze the probability of the results occurring again.

In this probability worksheet, students solve and complete 16 various types of problems related to statistics. First, they determine the probability of the statistics that are true as shown. Then, students find the conditional...

Students become aware of world conflicts and how conflict resolution is used to minimize threats around the world. They analyze a current world conflict and utilize conflict resolution strategies to determine a viable peace initiative.

Students organize a list of qualities that a person must have to become a Prime Minister in Canada, and in groups discuss the quality of choices made by each group. They compare/contrast the list with the current Prime Minister.

Students explore the concept of probability. In this probability lesson, students draw golf balls of different colors out of a bag and determine the probability of drawing a particular colored ball. Students make a number wheel with a...
