Learners use the Frayer model during problem solving. In this problem solving lesson, they examine multiple methods of data collection to solve real world problems. Resources are provided.

Learners practice skills involving statistics and probability by making predictions on number of each color candy in one pound bag of M&Ms. They record both guesses and actual quantities, calculate percentages, and create bar graphs...

Examine the three basic nutrients and their effects on the body. Fifth graders will research data to construct a bar graph and then  demonstrate the relationship between malnutrition and food security. This is a very comprehensive...

More of a math lesson than physics or space science, high schoolers take a set of data and plot it on a log-log coordinate system. The write-up for day two was never completed, but day one, "Stars and Slopes," is complex and cohesive....

In this probability worksheet, students solve eight math problems involving various scenarios enveloped with the concept of probability. Lastly analyze specific data frequencies to draw a histogram.

Need worksheets that challenge your middle schoolers to apply their understanding of math? Problem solved! From integers, fractions, and percents, to algebra, geometry, and probability, over 100 pages of word problem worksheets...

Hip Hop? Country? Punk? R and B? So many styles. Young song writers consider the emotional effects of various style options before selecting the style best suited to the emotions they want to express in their song. The sixth in a...

Explore the difference between stochastic and deterministic modeling through programming. First have the class write algorithms for relatively simple tasks using pseudocode. Use the Python 2.7 program app to simulate Mendel's Pea Pod...

Venus fly traps photosynthesize and consume insects because the soil they live in does not provide enough nutrients. Scholars analyze historical scientific experiments to learn how scientists discovered photosynthesis. From their...

Students apply the concepts of an event occurring to playing a game. In this probability lesson,students differentiate between experimental and theoretical probability.

In this statistics worksheet, 11th graders complete word problems by analyzing data given to them. They answer the probability of an even occurring and reasons it should occur. There are 16 questions on this worksheet.

Eighth graders analyze data from line graphs. They discuss the purpose of line graphs, identify the parts of a line graph, answer questions about various graphs, and complete a worksheet. This lesson includes a script to teach along with.

In this bird probability worksheet, students complete 12 different problems and short answer questions related to various types of birds. First, they determine what types of birds live in their forest by using the given table to record...

Students investigate probability using coins and dice. They collect data, graph, organize and interpret data. They predict, describe, compare, compute and draw conclusions based on what they observe and record.

Students explore number relationships by participating in a data collection activity. In this statistics lesson, students participate in a role-play activitiy in which they own a scrap material storefront that must replenish its...

In this data and probability worksheet, students choose two football teams and label the graphic organizer. They question 10 friends as to which team they prefer and write their names in the organizer. They make a graph that displays the...

Using M & M's candies, young statisticians predict the color distribution in a packet of candies and test their predictions against their group and the larger class. A review of converting between fractions, decimals, and percents...

Rolling dice is a great way for your mathematicians to get a hands-on approach to probabilities. Use the chart to record whether they rolled a six during ten attempts. Calculate results individually (or in small groups) and then record...

Students calculate derivatives from a set of data. In this calculus lesson, students estimate the limit at infinity. They complete a Return Interval handout at the end of the lesson.

Give your math class a comprehensive understanding of bar graphs with this series of lessons. The resource is divided into three parts, and all of the accompanying worksheets are included. The class will study different bar graphs,...

Students discover how to use the probability of winning to determine if a game is fair or not.  In this probability lesson, students watch a video and analyze the probability of winning and losing different versions of the game...

Students explore the law of large numbers. In this problem solving lesson, students view an episode of "Cyberchase" and apply the law to determine probability in 2 different scenarios.

Ninth graders investigate probability through games. In this probability lesson, 9th graders discuss sample space and distribution. They collect and analyze data using graphing.

Eleventh graders collect data about the state they live in. In this statistics lesson, 11th graders collect and analyze data as they compare themselves to students in other states. They analyze data about a person's education level, and...
