Students explore probability and its use in predicting events and outcomes. Through guided practice and hands on exploration, they determine whether an event has a probablity of likely, unlikely, impossible, or certain. Students...

Upper graders are introduced to the topic of fractions and percentages. In groups, they discuss real world situations in which fractions are present, and they complete a worksheet solving problems with common and uncommon denominators....

 Students explore the likelihood of events.  In this logical thinking instructional activity, 3rd graders are given several scenarios and determine whether the possibility of the described event actually happening is likely,...

How likely is it that the school cafeteria will serve chicken tomorrow? Discover the concept of probability with the roll of the dice. Pupils evaluate the liklihood of several statments about everyday life. Then, a mathematical...

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

Students are involved in activities that give them experiences predictingthe likelihood of certain events occurring. They become aware that certain outcomes are equally likely, more likely,or less likely than others to occur. Students...

Students explore probability. In this probability instructional activity, students look at videos and websites where they discover probability facts that can be used in situations. They determine the probability of different events. 

Students explore probability and the process of data analysis and predictions. They participate in two activities, one involving a calculator and one the Internet, in which they make predictions and conduct activities to test their...

Everyone loves a lesson that involves throwing things around! To understand probability, your experimenters will predict how different cylinder-shaped objects will land when tossed. When the data is collected, they will calculate the...

Second graders explore probability. In this math lesson plan, 2nd graders discuss the possibility of choosing a certain colored tile from a bag. Students perform experiments and describe the outcomes as certain, possible, unlikely and...

n a class discussion Students identify events or situations as being likely to occur or unlikely to occur. Then, they work in pairs to generate likely and unlikely statements to share with the class.

Learners study, record, and predict weather. They work in groups to create a weather word wall, research and make a barometer, and create a video about weather. They use the Internet to research weather.

Activate your pupils' thinking before reading chapter five of Ordinary People. Learners decide whether they agree or disagree with six statements and discuss their ideas in small groups. They then read chapter five and determine...

Students read and record temperatures and display the data. They represent the temperatures on an appropriate graph and explain completely what was done and why it was done. Students display the data showing differences in the daily...

Eighth graders investigate the concepts of probability while performing data analysis. They apply statistical methods in order to measure or predict some possible outcomes. The information is collected and graphed, 8th graders analyze...

Students are introduced to the concept of probability. In groups, they make a prediction about how many times a coin might show heads or tails when flipped. They carry out the experiment and record their results to compare it to their...

An outstanding lesson on music awaits your young composers! They learn about patterns found in music, the different sections of an orchestra, and see the differences between musicians and a composer. Excellent streamed videos and good...

Volcanoes are among the most spectacular geological features on the planet. Jump into an exploration of these amazing phenomenon with this multimedia lesson series. Working collaboratively in small groups, young scientists view videos...

Learners apply their understanding of luck to a probability experiment. They play a game of Pass the Pigs to determine the probability of a specific outcome. Using analysis for their data, pupils declare the measures of center, dot...

Prepare your readers for Briar Rose with an Anticipation Guide that asks them to agree or disagree with a series of statements that reflect issues raised by Jane Yolen’s narrative about a young girl’s research into her grandmother’s...

Connect ratios, probability, and combination outcomes with a challenging activity idea. It guides your learners through probability of an event as fractions or ratios, on a number line, and with correct vocabulary. The class will be...

Prior to reading Tolkien's The Hobbit, class members respond to a series of statements in an anticipation guide that introduces many of the central concepts of the novel.

Your learners will examine probability through experiments and dice games. Using a computer, your class will perform simple experiments to collect and analyze data to determine the probability of different experimental results. Learners...

Students explore how animals produce young by watching age-appropriate videos on the subject. They watch as chicken eggs either hatch or not in an incubator.
