Fourth graders participate in a lesson that explores probability. They use candy and model cubes to experiment with different outcomes that can be charted if the students can proceed to the objective of the lesson. They discover how...

Second graders flip coins and tally the outcomes. They play the You May Already Be a Winner! game with cards under their chairs. Some cards are winners, some might be and the others are not. They play to explain the probability concept.

Students explore the concept of experimental and theoretical probability. In this experimental and theoretical probability lesson, students collect data by conducting a survey of their classmates. Students compare their data and discuss...

Students use the language associated with probability to discuss events including those with equally likely outcome. They collect data from a simple experiment and record in a frequency table: estimate probabilities based on this data

Students predict the-outcome of an event. In this algebra lesson plan, students compare and contrast the probability of an event occurring. They calculate the odds of a simple event and make estimation.

Students analyze divination and carry out experiments using a probability model. In this probability lesson, students review information about divination and predictions in various cultures. Students set up experiments to test...

Students collect data on different events and word problems. In this algebra instructional activity, students use a table to organize their data. They graph their coordinate pairs on a coordinate plane and make predictions.

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...

Students create a variety of graphs. They count, sort, and classify M&M's by color and record data on a chart. They use data from the chart to create pictographs, bar graphs and circle graphs. They analyze data and determine...

Can scientists really predict genetic outcomes or are they simply making a lucky guess? Scholars first learn about Gregor Mendel and how to make Punnett squares. Then they extract DNA from a strawberry in a lab with included conclusion...

Accurate weather forecasting is something we take for granted today, making it easy to forget how complex it can be to predict the weather. Learn more about the terms and symbols used to forecast the weather with an earth science lesson...

It is cowabunga time! Pupils read an article about the NASA LISA mission on gravitational waves and conduct additional research on them. The class participates in a science bowl type competition about gravitational waves. Panels of four...

Introduce learners to set of complete instructions that describe how to build a magnetometer that works just like the ones professional photographers use to predict auroras. The diagrams are wonderfully descriptive, and the written...

What's in a name? Pupils create a data set from the number of letters in the names of classmates. Each group then takes the data and creates a visual representation, such as a histogram, circle graph, stem-and-leaf plot, etc.

Seventh graders determine the fairness of various games.  In this determining the fairness of various games lesson, 7th graders use spinners, dice, and rock,paper, scissors to play various chance games.  Students determine if...

Students collect data on population growth. In this statistics instructional activity, students graph their data and make predictions. They find the linear regression and the best fit line.

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.

Seventh graders investigate the concept of probability. They use the game of hangman to create engagement and context for conducting the lesson. They create a spreadsheet with data that is given. Students make predictions based on data.

Learners measure water and make predictions about efficiency.

Students observe weather patterns, collect data, and make a weather predictions for various locations on a map.

Coordinate planes and Cartesian graphing systems are the focus of this math lesson. Learners use video, internet activities, and engage in hands-on activities in order to explore coordinate planes. The materials needed for this lesson...

Middle schoolers 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...

Learners calculate the theoretical and empirical probability by dropping coins on a grid. They record their data and compare the theoretical and empirical data. Students make predictions about the results before conducting the experiment.

Students experiment with several chaotic simulation, they build a working definition of chaos. Students reinforce their knowledge of basic probability and percents. They are reminded of previous knowledge that is pertinent to this...
