Students collect and analyze data, then draw conclusions from the data and apply basic concepts of probability.

Pupils reason mathematically as they solve problems dealing with probability of an even occurring. In this probability instructional activity, students differentiate between different rankings of candidates running for leadership. They...

Students, using manipulatives, determine how many different ways there are to arrange 3 and 4 objects. They organize and record their arrangements. Students investigate the pattern generated by 3 and 4 objects, they predict how many ways...

Students explore how varying force and mass effect the motion of an object.  In this motion lesson students participate in a class activity and demonstrations.

Students measure the heights of their fellow classmates and create a box and whisker plot to display the data. In this measurement lesson plan, students analyze the data and record results.

Students sort, classify, and graph M & M's. They create pictographs and bar graphs with the colors and numbers in each bag of M & M's. They calculate the ratio and probability based on class results.

By examining a set of dice roll data, statisticians determine the probability of different sums occurring. They visit an interactive website and determine how many different vacation outfits Bobbie Bear will have based on the colored...

Students use NASA satellite data to see cloud cover over Africa.  In this seasons lesson students access data and import it into Excel. 

In this probability worksheet, students solve for the area under the frequency histograms. They identify the area using the derivative. There are 3 questions. 

Students, after watching the CYBERCHASE episode, "A Day at the Spa,"represent and count combinations of choices using tree diagrams.

You class will read Cucumber Soup by Vickie Leigh Krudwig as an anticipatory set for this lesson on ratios. They make models of the insects in the story and then use them as a source of data for this ratio and proportion lesson. This...

Pupils work to find probabilities by using areas under the normal curve. Groups work to calculate z-scores and solve real-world problems using the empirical rule or tables.

Winning a spin game is random chance, right? Pupils create a table to determine the sample space of spinning two spinners. Individuals determine the probability of winning a game and then modify the spinners to increase the probability...

Middle and high schoolers collect and analyze their data. In this statistics lesson plan, pupils analyze graphs for linear regression as they discuss the relationship of the function to the number of rubber bands and the distance of the...

From z-scores to probability. Learners put together the concepts from the previous lessons to determine the probability of a given range of outcomes. They make predictions and interpret them in the context of the problem.

You don't need to be discreet about using the resource on discrete variables. In the fifth installment of a 21-part module, scholars explore random variables and learn to distinguish between discrete and continuous random variables. They...

You'll never have to search for another worksheet again after downloading this extensive collection of Saxon math materials. With over 600 pages of example problems and skills practice exercises, this is a must-have resource...

It takes a lot of planning to achieve a random result! Learners compare results of random assignment, and conclude that random assignment allows results to be attributed to chance. They also realize the set of random means...

Ever been told you have your father's eyes? How did it happen? Young biologists get a hands-on experience in meiotic gene expression with a fun pairs-based activity. Participants use pipe cleaner chromosomes with trait beads to make...

Carryout the lesson plan to determine the cost of pizza toppings from a Domino's Pizza® website while creating a linear model. Learners look through real data—and even create their own pizza—to determine the cost of each topping....

Sstudents explore and analyze the properties of geometric areas.  In this geometry lesson, sstudents use technology to simulate spinners and dartboards in order to fing areas of circles and sectors of circles and compare and...

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,...

Fifth graders collect data and use charts and line plots to graph data. Through class surveys, 5th graders collect data concerning a particular subject. They graph their data using a line graph. Students make inferences and predictions...

Fourth graders investigate the concept of graphing and comparing different types of data using pictographs, line graphs, scatter plots, etc... They gather data and make interpretations while examining the medium of how it is displayed.
