Fourth graders use cut-outs of clothing to illustrate the numbers of combinations of articles of clothing they can create. Students create a tree-diagram and count the number of possibilities. They practice showing the information in...

In this sequences and probability activity, students solve 3 problems by writing out all the possibilities for the solution and they use probability to find their answers. They determine the probability of solar flares happening on a...

Middle school math whizzes view a PowerPoint tutorial on tree diagrams. Using "Anthonio's Pizza Palace," an interactive activity involving the selection of pizza toppings, they use Pascal's triangle as a tree diagram. This is an...

Students consider the advantages and disadvantages of various sampling techniques. They define a simple random sample and identify possible sources of bias in other types of samples. Answer Key included.

Fifth graders study the metric and customary systems of measuring length with rulers, meter / yardsticks, and tape measures. They determine area of polygons and surface area and volume of three-dimensional shapes. They list as many...

For this combinations worksheet, students solve 4 short answer problems. Students determine the number of combinations possible to pick a given number of a item out of a total possible.

Students explore possible outcomes and impossible events. They determine if an event is likely or unlikely. Students investigate the possible outcomes of events and they record the outcomes. Students discuss their answers and use...

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.

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.

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.

Seventh graders explore probability. In this probability lesson, 7th graders investigate modern day uses of probability. Students demonstrate probability through an experiment using dice.

Fourth graders plan a picnic using weather data. Using accumulated weather data from various sources, they create a graph of the weather conditions in their region for a given period of time. Students interpret this data to predict the...

Learners use skills that are directly related to alcohol, tobacco and other drug choices (e.g., refusal skills, decision making, stress reduction skills)

Third graders flip a dime and a quarter to record and predict the probability of possible outcomes.

Young scholars look for patterns to solve problems involving statistics using different colored gumballs. They should be able to look for and find out all the possible outcomes based upon inference and trials.

Second graders use tree diagrams to predict the possible outcomes of coin tosses. The data they collect and graph also help them predict the likelihood of getting heads or tails when tossing coins the next time.

Students are able to assess a problem and use systematic methods to solve the problem. They also find out all the possible outcomes for a sequence of events using tree diagrams.

Young scholars try some new exercises involving probability. These are, first of all, that the probability of getting a given total when two dice are rolled is equal to the number of possible ways of getting that total, divided by 36...

Third graders focus on developing a systematic approach to problem solving while working on a problem that requires them to determine possible outcomes. They use a pegboard as a manipulative in this problem.

Understanding of probability will probably increase with the use of a refined resource. Pupils learn to distinguish between dependent and independent events as they calculate the probabilities of these types of events in various...

For some, probability is a losing proposition. The assessment item requires an understanding of fraction operations, probability, and fair games. Pupils determine the fractional portions of an event. They continue to determine whether...

Statements often have multiple interpretations — but not these inequality statements. Scholars compare rational numbers and write inequality statements symbolically. The lesson includes problems that require comparing three numbers.

Bring your young mathematicians into the fold. Scholars conduct an activity folding paper to see the relationship between the number of folds and the number of resulting layers in the 23rd installment of a 36-part module. The results of...

Display data over a larger interval. The fourth segment in a 22-part unit introduces histograms and plotting data within intervals to the class. Pupils create frequency tables with predefined intervals to build histograms. They describe...
