Students examine mathematicians' notion of fairness in games of chance. They work in pairs to perform three different experiments using macaroni and paper bags. They record their results on charts and compare their data.

Reinforce math vocabulary with a set of flashcards. Each card showcases a boldly typed word or a picture representation with labels. The topics are geometry related and include terms such as cones, faces, pyramids, sides, and...

In this math worksheet, 6th graders make predictions of the possible outcomes using the data taken from two word problems. The answers are chosen from the outcomes that are possible using the multiple choice format.

Young scholars recognize the range and variety of severe weather. They plan for severe weather conditions that they may experience on an immediate and long-term scale and use climate information to make personal choices about where to...

Learners, after reading "The Button Box" by Margarette S. Reid, analyze real-world data by surveying a sample space. They predict the generalization onto a larger population utilizing calculators and computers. Students total categories,...

Third graders reinforce the probability of gender by uising a coin toss, as they continue to search for the answers to genetics questions by using mathematical expectations of probability.

Students explore and discuss hurricanes, and examine how meteorologists, weather officers, and NASA researchers use measurement and data analysis to predict severe weather. They plot points on coordinate map, classify hurricanes...

Students examine the role earthworms play in building soils. They discuss worms and what they do with soil, make predictions and draw pictures, and observe their worms in soil over a two week period.

Third graders compare experimental results with mathematical expectations of probabilities. They utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan to gain practice with the concept of probability.

Pupils examine statistics and data analysis concepts from the practical questions that arise in everyday life.

Student measure heights and graph them using growth charts for which they find the mean, mode, and median of the data set. They graph points on a Cartesian coordinate system.

Turn your pupils into engineers who are able to use scientific principals to design a ship. This long-term project expects pupils to understand concepts of density, buoyancy, displacement, and metacenter, and apply them to constructing a...

How many of the pupils at your school think selling soda would be a good idea? Show learners how to develop a study to answer questions like these! The lesson explores the meaning of a population versus a sample and how to interpret the...

It's completely normal to learn about normal distributions. An engaging lesson has young statisticians collect and analyze data about their classmates as well as players on the school's football team. They determine whether each set of...

Third graders discuss prizes included in products to stimulate sales. They discuss a pretend pretzel company and it's sticker promotion. Students compute how many boxes of pretzels they will need to collect in order to be sure of having...

Fifth graders work in small groups of five or six to conduct a series of investigations. While recording the results using pencils on individual tally worksheets rotating to different stations and comparing results with the other...

High schoolers investigate the concepts of probability. They use data to find the central tendency, median, and mode. Students design and play a game in order to practice the concepts. They also complete a table with data that is analyzed.

Students read the book, Jim Ugly, and discuss whether the odds were in favor of or against the character Jake finding his dad. They demonstrate an experiment involving odds by keeping a tally of how many times a colored die is pulled out...

A beautifully designed, eighteen-page chemistry tutorial awaits your learners. The main topics: enthalpy and entropy. By completing this lesson plan, high schoolers will be able to define these concepts, determine whether each is...

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

Build boxes using unit cubes to compare surface area and volume. The group performs multiple experiments to determine properties of volume, such as if it makes a difference which order the dimensions are multiplied in. Extensive...

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...
