Learners 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...

Pupils examine the concept of scatter plots. They compare baseball statistics to locate the ones that correlate with winning, and identify the positive, negative, and no correlation in sets of data using MS Excel.

Students work collaboratively to exchange data with their peers (groups of students at other schools) about their worm bin project. They discuss differing findings and hypothesize reasons for these differences.

Students identify different types of functions and units of measurements. In this statistics lesson plan, students will collect data, graph their data and make predictions about their data. They plot a linear regression graph.

Students explore the concept of using consumer data and statistics to aid in the consumer decision making process. In this consumer data and statistics instructional activity, students research consumer data and statistics. Students...

Pupils study probability and statistics by conducting an experiment, recording their results, and sharing data with classmates.

Students investigate probability and the chance of an even happening. In this algebra lesson, students incorporate their knowledge of probability to solve problems and relate it to the real world. They learn to make decisions based on data.

Fifth graders identify a set of data from a real world problem. In this statistics lesson, 5th graders identify the range, mode, median and mean using some manipulatives. They write words randomizing the letters.

Twelfth graders use the Internet to research information on NFL players and construct frequency distributions from the data. They calculate the mean, medium and analyze their data.

High schoolers collect and graph data. In this statistics lesson, students analyze their plotted data using a scatter plot. They identify lines as having positive, negative or no correlation.

In this probability and graphing worksheet, students solve 8 problems in which data from a cube toss is displayed on a table and graph. Students answer the questions about their results.

Sixth graders create and edit spreadsheet documents using all data types, formulas and functions, and chart information. They collect and organize data that be portrayed in a graph that they create using EXCEL.

In this differentiated whole-group activity activity, students list all the places they visited over the summer, record the places on a flip chart, calculate the distances on a road map and graph the data they collect.

Students collect data on baseball plays. In this statistics lesson, students graph their data and make predictions based on their observation. They calculate what the probability is that a favorable outcome would happen.

In this percentile and quartile worksheet, students complete a frequency table from given data. They determine the median, upper quartile, lower quartile and percentile ranks of specified conditions. This one-page worksheet contains...

In this marble probability worksheet, 8th graders solve and complete 7 different statements related to a bag full of marbles. First, they identify and read through the data table at the top of the sheet. Then, students determine the...

Students use the internet to research statistical information on the musher dogs participating in the Iditarod. Using the data, they create three different types of pie charts. They use the charts to answer questions about the dogs. They...

Round and round and round she goes. Where she stops, nobody knows. This activity uses a common arcade game of chance, the spinning wheel, as a platform for computing expected values, interpreting results, and applying this knowledge to...

Second graders explore probability by playing a drawing game with dice. After they roll a die, they draw a tree diagram to illustrate each of the possible outcomes.

Seventh grade statisticians randomly select five states and then determine the mean area. The class then works together to create a dot plot of their results. 

Young scholars analyze the graph of a distribution. In this statistics activity, students define skewed or mound shape distribution as they investigate the data behind the graph. They define and plot outlier as well as normal probability.

Students practice creating bar graphs using a given set of data. Using the same data, they create a group frequency chart and histograms. They must decide the best graph for the given set of data. They share their graphs with the...

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders compare and contrast experimental probability and theoretical probability. The two page worksheet contains explanation of topic, worked examples, and seven practice problems. Answers are...

Students are introduced to histograms, bar graphs, and the concept of class interval. They use an activity and three discussions with supplemental exercises to help students explore how data can be graphically represented (and...
